Political corruption (especially bribery) and theft are one of the most severe issues in the Czech Republic.[3][4][5][6][7] Group of States Against Corruption mainly criticises the lack of pro-active monitoring of the financing and states that an effective supervisory mechanism is missing.[5]
A survey of Transparency International in 2009 showed that fewer than 1 in 10 respondents find the anti-corruption efforts of their government effective.[8] In 2010, 44% of people answered that the corruption increased.[8][9]
