The Council of Europe's anti-corruption body GRECO has singled out the
Czech Republic for its low scores in its yearly report card, euronews
reports.
GRECO President Marin Mrčela is quoted as saying the Czech Republic is in
a so-called non-compliance procedure.
"In the last round, they received 16 recommendations, and none of them
were implemented. No wonder the people are not happy," Mrčela said,
referring to anti-government protests in Prague over the weekend that drew
over 280,000 people.
Fifteen other countries, including Germany and France, also disregarded the
Strasbourg-based human rights body's procedures. Hungary did not
authorise the publishing of the GRECO report, an MEP told euronews.
