The political parties may receive donations in the form of money, tangible assets or services. The political parties may receive non-monetary donations if they, in accordance with their statute, may be used for their activities. The provision of free of charge services for a political party, as well as the provision of services for political parties paid by a third party, in terms of this Law, shall be considered donation. The service provider shall be obliged to notify the political party of the value of the provided service. In terms of this Law, the sale of goods and the provision of services to political parties for prices lower than the market prices shall be considered donation. The seller of goods, i.e. the service provider shall be obliged to notify the political party of the market value of the sold goods, i.e. provided service, and shall deliver invoice thereof. The difference between the market value and the invoice price shall be considered donation. The conditions and limitations referred to in this Law shall apply to all types of donations (monetary assets, equipment and services). If the donation is received by the entities listed in Article 20 of this Law, the political parties shall be obliged, within ten days as of the day of receipt of the donation, to notify the donor that the donation is not accepted and to return it within 30 days.
