Paragraph 47
 

Article 99.4 of the draft law reduces the threshold for political parties for participating in the distribution of mandates from 5% to 4%. This amendment is a step towards a more pluralistic composition of the parliament and is to be welcomed. The second paragraph of Article 99.4 has a very complex and unclear wording. This may be due to the English translation. If not, the text should be clarified.
