FINANCING OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA (1991-2012)

Abstract

Reliable funding is an important factor for ensuring stable
political parties which would be capable to represent different
citizens’ interests. Nevertheless, the financing of political parties is
among the most sensitive and difficult questions raised in the
countries of Central and Eastern Europe, once they introduced
political pluralism. It is always difficult to obtain stable financing of
political parties, to avoid structural biases in favor of particular
political parties, to avoid political corruption and to ensure its
transparency. Republic of Macedonia has been facing these problems
ever since 1991 until today.
