Comment

A political party may accept donation or in-kind contribution from one donor not exceeding EUR 300,000 per calendar year, without distinguishing whether it is related to an election or not. However, during one election period of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, a political party total income from:
- donations and in-kind contribution,
- membership fees,
- loans and credits
may not exceed EUR 3,500,000.
