Official Corruption - in Especially Abuse of Position or Official Authority in Kosovo
Abstract
Abuse of official position or authority is the commission of an illegal act committed in an official capacity that violates the performance of official duties. Officials who abuse their power are often corrupt. Misappropriation, abuse of trust, and fraud can take many forms. If carried out by an official, it often constitutes corruption. Abuse of power consists of using an official's authority to resolve issues that conflict with the interests of the service. Usually, for such "services," an official receives a certain reward for himself or another person. Abuse of duty means using powers related to the position held contrary to the interests of the service. In our country, as well as in other countries of the world, the phenomenon of abuse of office and corruption continues to be one of the main concerns, for which we need a strategy and laws aimed at preventing and combating this phenomenon. Our whole society is a victim when public officials violate the trust given to them.
