The authors elucidate all dimensions thereof – the expenses and gains of financing, the rules of transparency and implementation of institutional supervision and limitation of financing. Particular significance is ascribed to the role of an independent implementation agency which is supposed to supervise the authenticity of publicly submitted reports on the financing of political parties and election campaigns. The second part of the text comprises a comparative inquiry into the ways of regulation of political finances in Croatia, Germany and the Netherlands.
