corruption perceptions index

The annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), published annually by Transparency International since 1995, is cited by the world's media as the leading measure of perceptions regarding corruption. The CPI ranks countries by perceived levels of corruption among public officials. I’ve used CPI data on two occasions  [ NOV 2006 & OCT 2007 ]  to find Croatia’s corruption "value" related to other countries but after a prolonged stay in Croatia I’m no more convinced that CPI catches the national spirit on the corruption as social mechanism of life and survival.

How public perceives the corruption of public officials looks to me less indicative, at least in Croatia, currently, then how public officials perceive publicly the corruption among themselves. Here is one recent comment of a politician on the action of another – translation is mine and I hope the "melody" of the statement is preserved:

"He is easily bribed, but he lacks even the basic honesty of honorable corruption."
