Summary/Abstract: To write about corruption the author must constantly bear in mind that he writes about particular situation in social community where certain number of people deals with stealing which is by itself an immoral act. Stealing and immoral aren’t always bribe and corruption but bribe and corruption are always unlawful acts where individual gains material or other benefits for himself or for some group, and that’s clearly immoral. Through its history people have always been inclined to bribe and corruption. In the places where justice and law rule and where institutions for quality implementation of law exist, this social problem is recognized and has no influence to the development of community. But in the places where law or institution which can cope with this problem don’t exist, bribe and corruption are destroying social tissue and general situation is chaotic and with no perspective. Bosnia and Herzegovina has a huge problem of corruption in all areas, especially in the area of education and science. With a view to creation of social atmosphere with minimum bribe and corruption, a high quality laws are passed but appropriate institutions where capable people would work, who would know and could prevent but also punish culprits, are about to be built. Implementation of Strategy as fundamental document followed by action plans and construction of institutions isn’t enough if plans aren’t implemented in the right way, if the deadlines have been expired, and if there’s no feeling that the offender is going to be punished. This paper is about inconsistency and incomprehensiveness for the problem of bribe and corruption in B&H through implemented Strategy for the period of 2009 – 2014 and action plans as products of this strategy. Nevertheless, one can make conclusion that Strategy has to experience radical and substantial change so that action plans could produce quick and quality effects through its implementation - by this we mean implementation of Strategy. This paper has shown the failure of Strategy and action plans whose aim is the fight against bribe and corruption in corporation with appropriate institutions and they are left out in these documents when we speak about education system and universities.
