Although the fight against corruption is very useful for the European Integration process, it is difficult because of the deepening of the phenomenon in governance structures and social mentality. In order to effectively fight corruption, it is necessary to apply rigorous policies inspired by successful European practices and to tighten anti-corruption legislation. Increasing salaries and offering favorable economic conditions can reduce the attempt to commit acts of corruption among public officials. The European integration of the Republic of Moldova depends on the success in the fight against corruption and the promotion of deep reforms to strengthen the rule of law. Due to the active involvement of civil society and independent media, they play an important role in strengthening democracy by exposing corrupt practices and by constantly putting pressure on the authorities to act transparently and responsibly. These entities function as a check and balance mechanism, ensuring that abuses of power are brought to public attention and that those responsible are held accountable, which con-tributes to the creation of a fairer political environment and the advancement of the European Integration process.rocorruptionRepublic of MoldovaEuropean Integrationanti-corruption reformsgovernancejusticeforeign investmentseconomic developmentcivil societycountermeasuresimpact of corruptioninternational cooperationArticlehttps://doi.org/10.59295/crs2024.49
