The National Integrity System Assessment is an analyses prepared within the project “EU4 Rule of Law: Citizen Engagement for Public Integrity (CEPI) in the Western Balkans and Turkey”, funded by the European Union and the Government of Switzerland. One of the pillars analyzed in the NIS report was the judiciary.
The judiciary is one of the pillars with the lowest score and limited role in the fight against corruption.
Recommendations for the Judicial Council:
- to adopt new procedures for receiving citizen reports related to conflicts of interest and other inappropriate and unethical behaviour in judges
- to establish a whistleblower’s protection and reporting channel to enable judges with integrity or other interested parties to report on cases of influence over the judges and their decisions.
