Ch. IV, 4. 27: "It is recommended for the legislator to consider re-introducing contribution limits for private donations, which are common in most OSCE participating States, while carefully balancing between ensuring that there is no distortion in the political process in favour of wealthy interest groups or particular individuals and encouraging broad political participation, including by allowing individuals to contribute to the parties of their choice."

Comment

There is no specific legal provisions regarding the limit on the amount a donor can contribute to a political party. Based on the OSSE/ODIHR Opinion on the Act on  Amendment  of the Act on the 2019 State Budget of the Republic of Bulgaria which encourages legislator to consider re- introducing  contributions limits  for privite donors, there could be interpreted that there is no limit on the amount donor can contribute to a political party.
