Abstract
This papers deals with the regulation of political party and election campaign
financing as one of the most important segments of legal regulation of party
activity. The authors elucidate all dimensions thereof – the expenses and gains
of financing, the rules of transparency and implementation of institutional supervision
and limitation of financing. Particular significance is ascribed to the
role of an independent implementation agency which is supposed to supervise
the authenticity of publicly submitted reports on the financing of political parties
and election campaigns. The second part of the text comprises a comparative
inquiry into the ways of regulation of political finances in Croatia, Germany
and the Netherlands.
