ZAGREB, 16 March, 2021 - The State Electoral Commission (DIP) has advised companies and citizens who intend to make a donation to participants running in the May local election, to respect the law and take note of the maximum allowable amount that may be donated.
All physical and legal persons intending to donate money, products or services are obliged to register all the relevant information and should be issued with a receipt by the recipient party or independent slate.
Donors must not have any debts to the state or local authorities.
If donations are made in products, then the value of these must be identified.
The maximum amount of a donation for physical entities is HRK 30,000 and for legal entities HRK 200,000. Donations can be made once or in several instalments and must be pad into a separate electioneering account.
Contracts for donations greater than HRK 5,000
Donations of HRK 5,000 or more require a contract to be concluded between the donor and recipient (party or independent slate).
