Integrity and Trust in Institutions Trust is one of the most important foundations upon which the legitimacy of institutions is built. In order to effectively perform their missions, institutions need to be trusted and supported by citizens. On the other hand, trust is closely linked with the extent to which citizens believe that security institutions are free from corruption and of high integrity. Given that corruption continues to be one of the main concerns for Albanian society in general and security institutions in particular, this edition of the barometer explored citizens’ perceptions on the spread of corruption in these institutions and on the trust in security institutions and the institutions that control and supervise them. Corruption in Security and Justice Institutions This section of the survey asked citizens to say to what extent corruption is widespread in the main security institutions. With regards to the military, the data from the responses show that there is a decrease in the perception of the spread of corruption in this institution. Compared with 35.4% who thought that corruption was very or somewhat widespread in the military in the 2019 barometer, the data of this barometer show a decrease to 30.9% in 2020. This change is also manifested in the increase of the percentage of those who think that corruption is a little or not at all widespread, from 57.9% in 2019 to 63% in 2020. 73
