Comment

No later than within 10 days from the day of receipt of a donation, a political campaign treasurer shall publish the name, surname of a donor-natural person on a public list of donors on the website of the Central Electoral Commission.

The identity of donor is not published in case of small donations (not exceeding EUR 12), but the way in which they are paid (phone, internet, bank transfer or other means), must allow the controlling authorities of financing of political campaigns to identify it. The total amount of small donations received by an independent political campaign participant without specifying the donors shall be indicated in the accounting records of political campaign funding and published on the Central Electoral Commission's website.
