<p>In the course of our everyday work, we and the experts we cooperate with arrive at numerous information regarding corruption and anticorruption practices in our country, as well as the countries in the region and the world.</p>
<p>By publishing this monthly newsletter on anticorruption and “good governance” we want to share this information with the wider public, primarily with the representatives of the public administration, whom we consider the most responsible for the fight against corruption and establishing and respecting the principles of “good governance”.</p>
<p>At the same time, we offer expert analyses, which can serve as sources of ideas and examples for improving the current state with the corruption in Macedonia.</p>
<p>We are open for suggestions and we want you to send us your opinions, ideas, and attitudes on anticorruption topics as well as practices of “good governance”, as well as point to us corruptive practices and generally the existence of a room for corruption. This will serve us as a basis for further articulation of those practices and problems, as well as help in conducting our future anticorruption activities.</p>
<p>Corruption is one of the greatest evils in Macedonia, which degrades the development and the progress of the economy, society, and the people who live in it, disrupts the competition and the free operation of the firms on the market, disables the governance of the true values in life and in the work, forces the young, educated people to leave the country and enables illegal benefits and enrichment of state officials at the expense of impoverishing the other people and destroying and abusing the public goods.</p>
<p>Therefore, by pointing the corruption practices and offering ideas, good examples, and solutions from the country and abroad, we feel that this monthly newsletter will ultimately contribute to decreasing the corruption in the country and enhancing the “good governance”.</p>
