Anti-Corruption Standards

The City government's priority is to create a more open and transparent city for all. Within this objective, the Anti-Corruption Standards reflect the city’s commitment to pursue measures towards greater transparency and to reduce the scope for corrupt practices that go beyond legal obligations. These include the measures that the city is currently fulfilling and seeks to maintain as standards in the future, as well as the measures that the city aims towards. The planned deadlines for fulfilling the measures that the city fails to meet are set out in Annex 1. These measures are also based on the Open Local Government ↗︎ assessment, regularly performed by the non-profit organisation Transparency International Slovakia ↗︎.

A total of 91 anti-corruption measures are divided into ten areas, namely:

• Policy on public information on local government decision-making
• Transparent budgeting and public information on the budget
• Procurement and contract disclosure policy
• Policy on management of the city's assets
• Decision-making on allocation of subsidies
• Personnel policy and ethics
• Spatial planning policy
• Policy on allocation of housing and places in social institutions run by the city
• Policy on transparency in legal entities established and founded by the city and in companies in which the City has a majority shareholding
• Media policy of the city
