Transparency International BiH (TIBiH), in cooperation with popular TV programme “Surrealist Top List” (Top lista nadrealista), launched the “Financing of political parties” public campaign, which was presented on Tuesday, July 20, in Sarajevo. The official motto of the campaign is “Money has a Name – demand transparent financing of political parties”.
Private donations for political parties are not illegal. However, if it is kept hidden from public scrutiny, there are opportunities for corruption. That is the message that initiators of the campaign want to present to the voters, warning them that transparency of financing is an instrument to reduce corruption once a party gets to power.
Emir Đikić, Chairman of TIBiH Board of Directors said that the campaign will consist of video clips and posters that aim to increase public awareness about the need for more transparent financing of political parties. He added that video ads and posters will coincide with the election campaign, when political parties increase their spending.
