One
of the biggest myths in fighting corruption is an opinion that the corruption is embedded
in the tradition and culture of the country. Indeed, certain mentality might
become an obstacle in diminishing the level of corruption, however, it can be
changed. Everyone agrees that the political will plays the greater role in
combating corruption. It is also able to change the way people perceive the
presence and necessity of corruption in their life. By a Soviet mentality people
used to blame corruption, nevertheless, rarely refuse to use it for a personal
gain. Eastern European countries will prosper only when “you can't buy your way into the queue” (I.Clendinnen)
