In this study, the problem of corruption in Croatian society, which affects the economic and social development of Croatia, will be presented. The high perception of the outspread of corruption affects the trust of citizens in the institutions, migration levels and leads to lower competitivness in the global market. The theoretical part of the study will show the theoretical definition of the term corruption, its types and forms, as well as the reasons that cause its appearance in society. The second part of the study portraits a research of the corruption perception conducted on a sample of eight Parliament members that have an active mandate in the 9th assembly of the Croatian Parliament. The members of the Parliament reflected on the influence of corruption in society, its extention to all levels of authority, as well as on the media and the remains of the socialistic mentality that affects the outspread and acceptance of corruption. The examinees stressed that institutions aren't fast or efficient enough in their work of fighting corruption, and they especially highlight the slow justice and inefficient justice system. The Parliament members recognize their responsibility in fighting against corruption, but also state problems and difficulties they meet when wanting to take specific actions.
