Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes basic features of possible causal relationships between the culture and the corruption of Serbian society. Throughout the history, Serbian people have crystallized a specific relationship towards the administrative apparatus of their own society and country. The multi-century subjection characterized the development of subjected life shaped through the relation of a conqueror-subject. Such character of life has put on the form of a custom, which was maintained even later in the period of state independence, as a response to forms of government. In the era of great social changes by the end of the 20th century, this customary form was not superseded. On the contrary, under conditions of globalization development as the new model of interconnected society, corruption is stimulated by external mechanisms of the new model of development, which hindered the realization of real efforts of the society in the battle against corruption under the newly created conditions of social relationships.
