During the verification of these data, the Ministry of Justice revealed a number of shortcomings in some parties, including the indication of persons who are not members of this party, deceased persons, repeated indications of the same persons.
In this regard, the parties were informed about the shortcomings identified in the register and they were asked to eliminate them within the period stipulated by law (30 days).
