Summary/Abstract: The models of political party financing that can be found in the literature are based on answers to five questions: "Are there limits on the amount of funds that parties have the right to collect and spend?", "Are there limits on the sources from which funds can be collected and the services and goods on which they can be spent?", "To which body should the control of political party financing be entrusted?" and "Should parties be financed from public sources and to what extent?" After monitoring the implementation of the Law on Financing Political Parties and a series of ten held round tables and consultations with experts, representatives of political parties, international organizations, media and non-governmental organizations, the team of the Open Society Fund and the Center for Free Elections and Democracy (CeSID) tried to consolidate recommendations for improving the system of financing political parties in Serbia. The recommendations are based on research, data and opinions presented in the public hearing process and attempt to answer the questions raised.
