- The law establishes the rights, obligations and operational guarantees of entities responsible for resilience to corruption.
- Conditions for measuring and comparing the level of resilience of public sector institutions to corruption are provided, thus motivating institutions to implement anti-corruption measures consciously and voluntarily.
- The involvement of private sector entities in creating an environment resilient to corruption is encouraged.
- The law stipulates that the system for creating an environment resilient to corruption includes measures to prevent corruption, increase anti-corruption awareness, ensure the reliability of staff and other activities or measures.
