AB  - Financing of political parties as a relevant aspect of political corruption still
represents a relatively unexplored ground for political science.
Our study aims at addressing this phenomenon in the Balkan region by conducting
a comparative analysis including a wide sample of countries. More specifically, the
analysis traces developments of the all the candidate countries and potential candidate
countries of the Balkan area: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo,
Macedonia (FYROM), Montenegro, and Serbia starting from year 2002, when the
Commission started to yearly report the progress of each country within the framework
of the Stabilization and Association Process (SAP).
We developed our research strategy as follows. Countries’ progress in adapting
national regulations on the financing of political parties represents our dependent
variable. The assessment of the quality of national regulations and the developments
overtime are based on the European Union (EU) country reports published yearly by
the European Commission. The tangible progress in the EU accession negotiations
constitutes our independent variable. To determine the proximity to the EU membership
we look at the state of the SAP negotiations and at one country’s status as candidate or
potential candidate (formal recognition, de facto recognition, absence of recognition).
The final discussion is based on a typology of the Balkan countries addressing
their degree of adaptation to the EU-sponsored legislation on financing of political
parties as reflected by their relative proximity to the EU membership.
