The National Strategy in the Fight against Corruption is laid out and reflected in the Resolution on the Prevention of Corruption In the Republic of Slovenia. The Resolution is the national umbrella document which sets the policies and acts as the foundation for the adoption of programmes regarding the prevention of corruption on the basis of the assessment of the current state of affairs.

The Resolution on the Prevention of Corruption in the Republic of Slovenia is a document adopted by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia upon the proposal of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia pursuant to Article 51 of the Integrity and Prevention of Corruption Act Gifts (published: National Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia no. 69/11; hereinafter: IPCA). The current Resolution on the Prevention of Corruption in the Republic of Slovenia was adopted by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia on 16th June 2004.

The fundamental objectives of the Resolution focus on preventive action. They include:

  • the long-term and permanent elimination of conditions for the occurrence and development of corruption,

  • the establishment of an adequate legal and institutional environment for the prevention of corruption,

  • consistent enforcement of accountability for unlawful action,

  • the establishment of a generally acceptable system of zero tolerance for all acts of corruption through different forms of education, and

The National Strategy in the Fight against Corruption, which is based on the Resolution, is given concrete expression in the Action Plan for the Implementation of the Resolution on the Prevention of Corruption in the Republic of Slovenia. The Action Plan is adopted by the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption in cooperation with the authorities responsible for the measures contained in the Resolution within three months of the adoption of the Resolution or its amendments.
