Since then, on this day, we celebrate the International Day against Corruption, ‒ he said. ‒ The attitude towards corruption has always been negative, as it slows down economic development, weakens democratic institutions, undermines the foundations and disrupts public order. Therefore, the fight against corruption is one of the most important tasks facing the state and society”.
