Corruption in the Kosovo 2010 - 2022
The causes of corruption lie in part in political and cultural reasons. Ineffective law enforcement may further promote it. It is striking that it is regularly lower in democratically governed countries (form of government in the Kosovo: Parliamentary republic). Similarly, higher corruption occurs predominantly in low-income countries. In the Kosovo, per capita income is 5,130 USD annually, which is relatively low by global standards. The cost of living is well below the global average, indicating massive socioeconomic problems.
