Thus, the SMI has collected for its electoral campaign a total amount of 11,400,733 Leks. Out of the total, the subject&#8217;s revenues from Public Funding in conformity with Article 87 of the Electoral Code amount to 4,590,660 Leks. In addition, the SMI has collected 2,137,000 Leks through private donations. <p><\/p>\n<p>The party has not drawn on its own funds for covering the campaign expenses. An interesting fact recorded in the SMI&#8217;s electoral campaign accounting 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, 28 May &#8211; 28 June 2009 Electoral Campaign <\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/static\/modules\/gviz\/1.0\/chart.js\">{\"dataSourceUrl\":\"\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdElSN2xzRTFIX1VadmVzZU1OZGF3Vnc&transpose=0&headers=1&range=B20%3AD24&gid=0&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\":166,\"animation\":{\"duration\":0},\"legend\":\"right\",\"width\":630,\"hAxis\":{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null}},\"state\":{},\"view\":{},\"isDefaultVisualization\":true,\"chartType\":\"Table\",\"chartName\":\"Chart 2\"}<br \/>\n  <\/script><br><sup>Source: The Report of the Independent Auditor on the SMI?s Balance Sheet<br>\n of Collected and Spent Funds in the 2009 electoral campaig, from 28 May<br>\n to 28 June 2009 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cec.org.al\/images\/stories\/zgjedhje-per-kuvend\/2009\/fin_subjekteve\/rap_auditimi%20ne%20pdf\/lsi.pdf\">http:\/\/www.cec.org.al\/images\/stories\/zgjedhje-per-kuvend\/2009\/fin_subjekteve\/rap_auditimi%20ne%20pdf\/lsi.pdf<\/a><br>Comments and Analysis: ODA<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Socialist Movement for Integration has collected 1,087,000 Leks, or 50.86% of its donations, from donors with contributions higher than 100,000 Leks, declaring the donors? list in conformity with Article 90 of the Electoral Code.
