It gives a brief overview of the major international legal sources that Croatia and Serbia have adopted and incorporated into national legislation. The central part of the work is devoted to national legal framework for the fight against corruptive acts, a comparative legal representation and the most common criminal offenses were pointed out in more detailed. Concluding considerations are devoted to some de lege ferenda proposals to suppress criminal offenses of corruption.
