Infrastructure of Integrity - Western Balkans anti-corruption pledges monitor

This report is part of the Infrastructure of Integrity series that focuses on corruption and anti-corruption in the Western Balkans. It is an output of the civil society monitoring implementation of anti-corruption pledges made at the London Summit of the Berlin Process in 2018. The Infrastructure of Integrity series was launched with the release of the executive summary in 2020. This first report looks at the political economy of organized crime and anti-corruption in the Western Balkans. It is followed by the Western Balkans anti-corruption pledges monitor, which tracks implementation of the pledges made at the 2018 summit, as well other commitments made to strengthen integrity, particularly in relation to the UN Convention against Corruption and the EU acquis. National case studies will also be published as part of the Infrastructure of Integrity series. Our hope is that this series can contribute to the implementation of the anti-corruption pledges that have been made in the Berlin Process, as well as to wider efforts to fight corruption and strengthen integrity in the countries of the Western Balkans. Summary This report is the third in the Infrastructure of Integrity series, which looks at corruption and assesses anti-corruption efforts in the Western Balkan Six countries (WB6). This civil society-led report is based on analysis provided by anti-corruption experts from the WB6 who examined corruption and its impact on governance in each country of the region and reviewed anti- corruption frameworks as well as government efforts to tackle corruption. The centrepiece of this section of the study is an anti-corruption pledges monitor that looks at how the governments of the six countries are implementing their anti-corruption pledges made in the context of the Berlin Process. To the best of our knowledge, this monitor is the only such tool that exists to comprehensively track how the anti-corruption pledges are being implemented. Since the pledges are based on existing commitments made in other multilateral forums, and not all of these commitments are covered by the anti-corruption pledges.
