The law does not provide for the oversight of third-party financing.

For example, in the last parliamentary scrutiny of 2018, the large-scale 15 March “peace march”, organized by a CSO, was not subject to campaign finance oversight. Further, the ODIHR LEOM observed instances of party-affiliated CSOs distributing goods on behalf of candidates. The lack of oversight of third-party spending undermines the effectiveness of the overall campaign finance system and impedes the ability of political actors to compete on a level playing field.
