The aim of the project was to learn and analyse characteristics, structure and functioning of Parliamentary and other relevant political parties in relation to their functioning in the Parliament, at lower levels of an organization structure, and, on the other side, in relation to European political parties. The relation of political parties to the civic society and its entities as well as to the State was also taken into account.
