Corruption is found specifically in those states in transition and in those states that are dealing with unstable political stability.

In this work i will try to answer these questions: ? In what kind of forms is corruption shown in Kosovo? ? How is this phoenomenon affecting at foreign investitors? ? How do we fight this phoenomenon and how do we attract these foreign investitors that are so important for our states development?

I will try to present some recommendations for the solution of this problem.For this work i will insure researches from conversations with some local business, different official institutions and some compatriots who are interested to invest in Kosovo. I will try to give this work theoretical and practical values, and to make it as more convenient and feasible as possible for all those who are interested to give even the smallest help to fight the corruption in general and to attract Foreign Direct Investments in our country, as a good chance toward enhancement and states economical development.
