A further matter relating to donations that was not examined in detail in the 2013 Joint Opinion, but has in the meantime triggered public debates, is the regulation of cash donations. Pursuant to Article 26(2) of the LPP, as amended in 2015, monetary donations to political parties shall be effected through banking operations. However, cash donations are permitted in case a donor does not have a bank account. Representatives of the CEC indicated to the Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR delegation that it was impossible for them to verify for all donors whether they had a bank account, and the above rule thus had little if any effect in practice. In addition, it does not seem to be fully consistent with Article 25 of the LPP, according to which donations may be collected during "entertainment, cultural, sport and other mass activities organised by the party".
