Any contribution from legal persons is banned, as well as the law permits natural persons to only make donations to political parties and not to individual candidates. A donation that exceeds one minimum monthly wage has to be transferred to the party`s bank account, and all financial activities by a candidate are considered as financial activities of his/her respective nominating political party.
