"Maximum value of donation at annual level that a natural person may give to political entities for regular work shall not exceed ten average monthly salaries. Maximum value of donation at annual level that a legal person may give to political entities for regular work shall not exceed 30 average monthly salaries. Donations exceeding at annual level one average monthly salary are published. A political entity is required to publish each donation referred in paragraph 3 of this article on its website within eight days from the date the value of donation has exceeded the amount of one monthly average salary."

Comment

10 average monthly salaries for natural persons, 30 average monthly salaries for legal persons, per year.

To illustrate this better: in July 2023 (last statistical data available), the average monthly salary was 83.781 RSD (~ 710 EUR) – so the limit for natural persons would be 7100 EUR annually, and for legal persons 21.300 EUR annually for regular finances.

Additional remarks: Maximum amounts are the same for election campaign support – in a year of elections, a natural person can donate twice the maximum – one to regular finance of parties activities, and another to campaign of certain candidate/party list. The law frames these ceilings to calendar year only, regardless of how many elections are held.
