The Fight against corruption in Moldova: What can be learned from Croatian experiences?

The aim of this paper was to make a brief overview of the progress and the challenges which Moldova is facing in terms of combating corruption, in light of meeting the standards set by the EU through its Neighborhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership program. It resulted from the wider study prepared by the authors of this study. The paper also comparatively approaches the experiences of Croatia during the EU accession process in this particular area. Although Moldova’s relations with the EU are not part of the same policy as was the case with Croatia, the reform processes in the country have to deal with the same challenges by applying similar instruments and techniques in order to promote domestic political reforms regarding these very sensitive issues. In this context, Croatia’s integration experiences could be relevant for Moldova as Croatia started the accession process being aware that corruption was widespread in the country and was at the same time confronted with the strengthened EU‘s conditionality.
