Comments: Not only has there been no progress in adopting and implementing whistleblower protection legislation, but there have also been reports of individuals being persecuted for reporting cases of corruption in some state institutions. This situation was identified in the GRECO report, which was published in late April and adopted by the Council of Ministers.
