Influence of corruption and other types of criminal on business in Croatia

Korupcija je društveni fenomen čije negativne posljedice utječu na razvijene i ne razvijene zemlje. Ona se može shvatiti kao niz neetičnih radnji pomoću koje se postižu različite osobne koristi. Uzroke korupcije je teško prepoznati i dokazati zbog čega većina kriminalna djela nisu otkrivena. Zbog velike prisutnosti korupcije u zadnjih par godina, pokrenute su brojne akcije njenog otkrivanja u okvirima Europske Unije, Ujedinjenih naroda, a pokrenuto je i mjerenje korupcije koje vrše Svjetska banka i Transparency International. Kao jedan od preduvjeta za ulazak u Europsku Uniju jest adekvatan sustav suzbijanja korupcije te je tako Republika Hrvatska uvela Ured za suzbijanje korupcije i organiziranog kriminala i mnoge druge. Sankcije za kriminalna djela rijetko kad budu provedene do kraja što dovodi do gubitka povjerenja prema državi, ali i do sprječavanja rasta i razvoja.Corruption is a social phenomenon whose negative consequences affect on developed and non-developed countries. It can be understood as a series of unethical actions by which personal benefits are achieved. The causes of corruption are difficult to identify and prove, that is why most criminal offenses have not been disclosed. Due to the large presence of corruption in the last couple of years, a number of actions have been launched in the framework of the European Union, the United Nations, and a measure of corruption committed by the World Bank and Transparency International. One of the prerequisites for joining the European Union is an adequate anti-corruption system, and the Republic of Croatia has introduced the Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime and many others. Sanctions for criminal offenses rarely come to an end, that leads to a loss of confidence in the state, but also to the prevention of growth and development
