Thus, the SMI has collected for its electoral campaign a total amount of 17,881,988 Leks. Out of the total, the subject&#8217;s revenues from Public Funding in conformity with Article 87 of the Electoral Code amount to 2,763,848 Leks. In addition, the SMI has collected 4,109,400 Leks through private donations. The total worth of the donations from physical persons and legal entities amounts to 4,109,400 Leks. The party has not drawn on its own funds for covering the campaign expenses. An interesting fact recorded in the SMI?s electoral campaign balance sheet is that this party has benefited, on the basis of Article 84, point 6, of the Electoral Code, free airtime by private radio\/televisions for political advertising, which is calculated as a deductible expense for taxation purposes. This particular accounting item has been recorded separately by the SMI auditor.<\/p>\n<p><b>SMI &#8211; Electoral Funds and Expenditures, 2011 Electoral Campaign. <br><\/b><br> \n  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/static\/modules\/gviz\/1.0\/chart.js\">{\"dataSourceUrl\":\"\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdHltQnRmcjQwV3VuVFlUTUdIMFBEVnc&transpose=0&headers=1&range=B20%3AD24&gid=1&pub=1\",\"options\":{\"vAxes\":[{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null},{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null}],\"titleTextStyle\":{\"fontSize\":16},\"booleanRole\":\"certainty\",\"title\":\"Chart title\",\"height\":180,\"animation\":{\"duration\":500},\"legend\":\"right\",\"width\":630,\"hAxis\":{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null}},\"state\":{},\"view\":{},\"isDefaultVisualization\":true,\"chartType\":\"Table\",\"chartName\":\"Chart 3\"}<br \/>\n  <\/script><br><sup>Source: The Report of the SMI?s Independent Auditor.
