Agency for Prevention of Corruption

About Integrity

According to the Law on Prevention of Corruption, a public authority has the duty to adopt integrity plan by 31 March 2016 and submit it to the Agency not later than 15 days from that of its adoption.

Integrity plan is an internal anticorruption document containing a collection of legal and practical measures for prevention and elimination of possibilities for occurrence and development of various forms of corrupt and unethical behaviour in a public authority as a whole, its individual organisational units, and job positions. Integrity plan is a result of the self-assessment of a public authority of its exposure to the risks for occurrence and development of corruption, illegal lobbying practice, and conflict of interest, as well as the proneness/exposure to unethical or unprofessional conduct.

Public authorities have the duty to develop their integrity plans pursuant to the Rules for development and implementation of integrity plan, and make it publicly available by publishing it on their respective websites or otherwise, as appropriate.
