Although there is no clear indication on the Act No. 247/1995 on Elections to the Parliament of the Czech Republic about the ban on donations from foreign interests to the candidates, there are clear provisions about this issue when referind to the donations made by third parties. On the other hand, the Act No. 275/2012 on the Election of the President of the Republic do not contain any provisions on this regard.
