The former chairwoman of the State Commission for Prevention of Corruption, Tatjana Dimitrovska, stood before a court and stated: I do not feel guilty. The charge is for revealing an official secret - meaning, for allegedly saying something that should not have been said. The irony is thick: the head of an anti-corruption body, accused of violating the rules she was supposed to uphold.

I think I have done nothing wrong - Dimitrovska said. The court will decide whether that thought is sufficient. But regardless of the verdict, this case says a great deal about the state of institutions that are supposed to be guardians of the system, yet end up in the defendant's chair themselves.

When anti-corruption becomes the accused, citizens have every right to ask - who guards the guards?
