The Vice President of the CEC Pavel Postica, present at the meeting, mentioned that the implementation of the above-mentioned objectives can only be achieved through the involvement and consolidated activity of all stakeholders - electoral bodies, public authorities with control functions, political parties, civil society, mass-media, etc. both in the election period and in the election period.

As the CEC is responsible for collecting and systematizing the financial reports of political parties, audit reports of political parties, and reports on the financing of election campaigns submitted by electoral contestants, seminar participants were informed that the electoral authority would continue to develop new effective public monitoring mechanisms, as well as mechanisms of evaluation of the observance of the normative framework by the subjects involved in the financing of the political parties and of the electoral campaigns.
