• Lack of political will to fight corruption by the governments of the countries The political will to fight corruption from the governments of the countries where the study was conducted is perceived in very low numbers (72% of respondents in Albania do not trust the political will of the government, 66% in Albania and 36% in Kosovo). [...] The questionnaire was built on the basis of a well-known applied methodology from a similar study supported by the Council of Europe.5 As the focus of the current project is on corruption at the local level, ACER together with the project partners made some modifications to the content of the survey, keeping the main parts related to anti-corruption, but changing some of the answer options related. [...] At the end of the survey, the results of the interviews and the findings of the study were analyzed through the SPSS program to provide a detailed overview of the corruption situation at the local level, as well as the activities and political recommendations that citizens think should be undertaken by local government in each country participating in the project. [...] After the clarification of the methodology and the selection of the questionnaire, each of the partners has selected the individuals who would be engaged in completing the questionnaires in the respective areas, in order to carry out the defined number of interviews (450 interviews in each country). [...] In order for the interviewers to acquire the questionnaire and understand the methodology of the project, the partners have developed a special training for them explaining in detail each section of the questionnaire as well as the technique of addressing the questions and documenting the answers through tablet PC for transmission on the system of ACER.
