TI Croatia on Financing of Political Parties and Campaigns
|
The Transparency International Croatia presented yesterday, at the Citizens’ Open School in Velika Gorica, the information it gathered on income and expenditures of parliamentary political parties in 2005. TI Croatia also presented the basic principles that should be applied to the financing of political parties and campaigns.
Croatia remains one of the few countries in Europe that don’t regulate the financing of political parties and campaigns with a special Law. According to the data collected by TI Croatia, 15 parties represented in the Parliament had total income of 69,289,329.00 Kuna in 2004. The results of the Global Corruption Barometre, tool used by Transparency International to determine the public opinion on presence of corruption in individual sectors, point out that political parties are the most corrupt entities in Croatia. In the 2005 Global Barometre, political parties were graded 4 on the scale from 1 (no corruption) to 5 (complete corruption). The presentation of income and expenditures of Croatian political parties is available as PowerPoint presentation on TI Croatia website. (PrezentacijaFPS.pps) |
