flag Serbia's corruption perception score hit a 20-year low, ranking 116th globally due to weakened institutions and political interference.

flag Serbia's corruption perception score dropped to 33 in the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, its lowest in 20 years and 45 places lower than a decade ago, ranking 116th out of 182 countries. flag The decline, attributed to weakened institutions, political interference in the judiciary, and reduced democratic space, includes a controversial secret contract and the removal of heritage protections for a luxury hotel project. flag Serbia now ranks as the worst-performing country in the Western Balkans, below Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus, Turkey, and Russia. flag Transparency International cited shrinking civic space, opaque high-value deals, and attacks on anti-corruption prosecutors as key concerns, warning of rising corruption even in stable democracies.
