Paragraph 15
 

The adopted amendment to Article 86 of the Electoral Code addresses the problem for political parties and blocs, setting for them only two thresholds in place of the previous three: a reduction of the threshold for single parties (from 6 to 4%) and for coalitions, from 9 and 12% to a single 8%. The recommendation was for a single threshold for parties and coalitions at 3-4%, but the amendment is certainly an improvement over the recent past.
