Abstract

Within the paper, the issue of preventing corruption in the financing of political parties is addressed, both during the election process and between two election cycles.
Namely, political parties are a fundamental element in democratic systems and a necessary tool for expressing the political will of the citizens. Funding for political parties and election campaigns should be based on unified standards to prevent and combat corruption.
Corruption poses a serious threat to the rule of law, democracy, human rights, equality and social justice,
endangers the stability of democratic institutions, impedes economic development and poses a security threat to
democratic society.
There are several international legal acts that regulate the operation and financing of political parties, as well as specialized acts to prevent corruption in their work. The text emphasizes the aforementioned regulation, as well as GRECO's experiences in evaluating transparency in the financing of political parties.
Financing political parties should be from legal sources and transparent, because the secret financing of political parties is an entry into corruption, that is, investing in future greater illicit profits.
There are various modes of financing political parties with a different balance between public and private funding. In this regard, special attention should be paid to donations and their origin. The whole process must be under the supervision of the competent state institutions. Their structure may be different, but independence, objectivity, expertise and transparency must be fundamental principles in their operation.
