The study in represents a follow up of CLDS's research on corruption. The first study in this series was Corruption in Serbia (2001), which was awarded the International Memorial Award Sir Anthony Fisher for 2002. That study, according to many people said, was the first research on corruption in our country which provided comprehensive and coherent anticorruption strategy which was to a large extent used by government as a tool. That study was followed by Corruption at the Customs (2002) and Corruption in the Judiciary (2004) which provided an analysis of the level, mechanisms and consequences of corruption in these two very corruptible activities, followed by the sectoral anticorruption strategies. This study provides a full analysis of the changes in the level of corruption and anticorruption activities in this period as well as an assessment of anticorruption efforts. The research has shown that corruption has been reduced in 2001 - 2006 period but that these positive events have not been at the level of the citizen expectations and politician promises. The corruption in Serbia is still a big problem and is potentially very dangerous. The research has demonstrated that the government anticorruption efforts were mostly legislative and that the practical activities were much more limited. Therefore the orientation of anticorruption fight should in the following years be directed towards strengthening the police, judiciary, prosecutor's office and other main operational actors.
