Paragraph 28
 

Article 12 para 23 of the draft amendments also would introduce a provision into article 24 of the Law requiring donors to disclose their “name, surname, data in identification document and workplace.” Article 27 of the Law which specifies reporting, disclosure and publishing obligations of political parties, in paras 4 and 5 states that “[t]he statement of a political party during the reporting year must contain data on the sources and amount of funds deposited on the account of the political party, the spending of such funds, as well as the property in possession, with an indication of its value. The source of donations received by a political party shall, regardless of the value, be indicated in the statement of the political party.” While the frequency of preparing reports and the means of their publication is regulated in detail in Article 27, it is not clarified what data will be published pertaining to the individual donors. The authorities informed OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission that the final version of the amendments’ package will not any more provide for the publication of the workplace and ID information.
