One portion for the operation of political parties that is provided in the state budget for the next fiscal year amounts to 0.056% of funds of current budget expenses for the previous year. The funds indicated in paragraph 1 of this Article are allocated to political parties that have at least one deputy in the Croatian Parliament. The Board for Constitution, Rules of Procedure and the political system of the Croatian Parliament make a decision on allocation of funds indicated in paragraph 1 of this Article for every year, determining equal amount of funds for every deputy in the Croatian Parliament, so that every political party is entitled to funds proportionate to a number of its deputies. Every elected deputy belonging to less represented deputies ensures an entitlement for the political parties to a fee amounting of 10% of the amount envisaged for every deputy, stipulated by paragraph 3 of this Article. The allocated funds indicated in paragraph 3 and 4 of this Article are transferred to the central account of the political party in equal amounts on a quarterly basis.
