Summary/Abstract: Although the Croatian government has expressed a determined obligation to undertake measures against corruption, still there are opinions that the fight against corruption is not given the political acceptance and respect that are their due. After the Introduction, in the second part is raised the issue of public administration, while in next part is analysed the situation in judiciary. One can estimate that in the Croatia there are different laws and institutions in charge of reducing the corruption, but serious problem is a low level of law enforcement discussed in the part four. Part five is dedicated to social and economic sources of corruption (like privatization, informal economy etc), while in part six is stressed that in Croatia the regulation of the funding of political parties is almost completely underdeveloped. The last chapter before conclusion remarks analyses the role of civil society and the media.
