Slovenia
P 11, 'As regards limits or restrictions on private funding in the context of an election campaign, Article 14 of the Elections and Referenda Campaigns Act (ZVRK) specifies that the provisions of the Political Parties Act (ZPolS) also apply to the financing of election campaigns, unless otherwise provided. The prohibitions on foreign donations and donations by natural persons exceeding 10 times the previous year?s average monthly wage as defined in the Political Parties Act (ZPolS) thus also apply to election campaign organisers which are not political parties' (Source: GRECO (2009) Evaluation Report on Slovenia, Transparency of Party Funding (Theme II))
Article 14.- 'The total contributions of an individual natural person for a particular election campaign must not exceed ten times the average monthly gross wage per employee in the Republic of Slovenia according to the figures of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia for the previous year (hereinafter referred to as ?average monthly gross wage?)'
