	Balkan Culture of Corruption Can Change What makes Southeast Europe vulnerable to corruption? Research suggests three main factors. First, 40 years of socialism eroded respect for the state, authority, and more generally, for abidance of rules. Public officials often saw their jobs as giving them free license to distribute state goods to friends and acquaintances, or to anyone willing to pay a little extra for ‘special service’. This culture has lingered in many areas of public service, with state employees now seeing it as a reasonable thing to steal to supplement their meagre wages.

	The Privatization of Bulgartabac as a Corruption-Related Topic in the Media This is a case study of Bulgartabac - the Bulgarian tobacco monopoly, based on materials published in Bulgarian media during 2002. The topic of the privatization of the Bulgarian tobacco monopoly company has been in the news continuously over the past few years. On the one hand tobacco production is a strategic sector to Bulgaria both economically and socially and it is therefore of particular importance who will own the holding and control the industry. On the other hand, Bulgartabac is among the monopoly companies considered, along with the energy companies and the Bulgarian Telecommunications Company, as one of the "pearls" of the Bulgarian economy.
