The system for distributing subsidies begins with 50% of the total amount of subsidies available equally divided to political parties with a negotiation body in the National Assembly comprised of party members. Next, parties with between five and 20 seats receive 5% of the total funds each.
After distributing based on the aforementioned criteria, half of the remaining subsidies are distributed to political parties represented in the National Assembly according to the number of seats each party has. The other half of the remaining subsidies are distributed based on the number of votes obtained by political parties in the most recent 20th National Assembly election.
