Comment

In the law, it is clearly stated which sources of financing are available to political parties, and one of these sources is the state budget. The relevant article of the law also indicates the purposes for which such funds *may* be used. However, the provision does not contain a detailed or precise definition of how these funds must be allocated or categorized in practice.
