"(1) Parties and movements and political institutes shall use only funds held in accounts with a bank, payment institution or electronic money institution or with a branch of a foreign bank, payment institution or electronic money institution in the territory of the Czech Republic. This does not apply if the costs are less than CZK 5,000; these expenses can be paid in cash."

Comment

The limit of 5000 CZK for cash spendings, in combination with the parties' and movements obligation to use only funds held in their accounts with a bank, lead to the conclusion that there is also a 5000 CZK for cash donations.
