📌 Participants received information on:

• the concept and consequences of corruption;
• forming a zero-tolerance attitude toward corruption;
• the responsibility of citizens in this process;
• measures taken at both state and societal levels.

It was noted that those involved in corruption face criminal liability and that the government is firmly committed to combating this problem under the leadership of the President.

🔚 At the end of the event, the importance of implementing the principle “Fighting corruption is everyone’s duty” in everyday life was stressed, with each citizen playing their part in the cause.
