European Parliament elections were held in Croatia on 26 May 2019, electing members of the nationalCroatia constituency to theEuropean Parliament.[1][2] These were the third such elections in the country since itsaccession to theEuropean Union in 2013.
It was the first election to be held nationally since the2016 parliamentary election, following which the center-rightHDZ had formed a coalition government, first with the center-rightMOST and later - in June 2017, with the centristHNS. TheEuropean Parliament elections were therefore viewed as a major test for the center-leftSDP, which had contested all previous nationwide elections since 2011 as part of acoalition, but chose to stand in this election alone. The elections as such was deemed important to showcase whether the SDP could remain the largest opposition party, having been faced with months of falling opinion poll ratings. Its main contenders for such a position within the political system were theanti-establishment,euroscepticŽivi zid party, and the newly formed center-leftAmsterdam Coalition.[3]
The election resulted in the two largest parties in the country, the ruling centre-rightHDZ, and the opposition centre-leftSDP, winning an equal number of seats - each taking 4.SDP won in all four of the largestCroatian cities:Zagreb,Split,Rijeka andOsijek.[4] The remaining four seats were evenly divided between the right-wing Croatian Sovereignists coalition, the centre-leftAmsterdam Coalition, the anti-establishmentŽivi zid party and the independent list led by juristMislav Kolakušić. The strong performance of right-wing and far-right parties, such as the Croatian Sovereignists coalition andIndependents for Croatia-HSP coalition, is thought to have greatly contributed to the surprisingly poor result of theHDZ, notably by significantly reducing its support among members of theCroatian diaspora, who had registered a record turnout in this election. Another surprise in the elections was the large number of votes received by Zagreb jurist Mislav Kolakušić and his independent list - which was something not predicted by opinion polls, as well as the failures ofMOST to attain a seat and of independent incumbent MEPMarijana Petir to retain her seat (which she had held since 2014).
At the previous election in2014, Croatia was allocated 11 seats and is set to receive one additional seat following thewithdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU. All seats were up for election and the whole countryforms a single constituency, with the 12 members elected byproportional representation usingopen lists and theD'Hondt method.[5]

A total of 33 valid candidate slates with 396 candidates were submitted for the upcoming European Parliament election. The lists were published by the State Election Commission on 10 April, when the official election campaign began that will last for 45 days.[6]
The slate of theCroatian Democratic Union (HDZ), the ruling centre-right party of Croatia and member of theEuropean People's Party (EPP), was led by 30-year-old Karlo Ressler, who was nominated by the youth branch of the party. The slate also includes two current MEPs, three members of theCroatian Parliament, and twocounty prefects. The party platform for the election was called "Croatia for Generations".[7] CroatianPrime Minister and HDZ PresidentAndrej Plenković said that the election is a choice between a political course of Croatia's development and a backward course that would isolate Croatia.[8] The main campaign rally of the HDZ, held in Zagreb, was attended by German ChancellorAngela Merkel andManfred Weber, EPP's candidate forEuropean Commission (EC) President. Both of them urged voters to reject nationalism in the upcoming election.[9]
The slate of the main opposition party, the centre-leftSocial Democratic Party of Croatia (SDP) of theParty of European Socialists (PES), was led by current MEPTonino Picula. While presenting the party list, Picula said that Croatia had not taken full advantage of its membership in the EU. The SDP was expecting to win three seats in the upcoming election.[10] The campaign event inRijeka, where the SDP is in power, was attended byFrans Timmermans, the candidate of the PES for president of the EC, alongside SDP PresidentDavor Bernardić. Bernardić accused the HDZ for "failing to salvage" the Croatian shipyards in Rijeka andPula, in cooperation with the EC.[11]
The list of theAmsterdam Coalition, a coalition of seven parties, including theCroatian Peasant Party (HSS), theCivic Liberal Alliance (GLAS), and theIstrian Democratic Assembly (IDS), was headed byIstria County prefectValter Flego of the IDS. GLAS PresidentAnka Mrak Taritaš presented the list as a rejection of a "Europe of barbed wire fences and the Brexit chaos", and said that the coalition advocates an open and free Europe. HSS PresidentKrešo Beljak said that the vote for the coalition is a vote for a European Croatia.[12]
The populistŽivi zid party announced a joint platform with Italy'sFive Star Movement,Kukiz'15 from Poland, and Greece's AKKEL. The 1st candidate on the slate of the Živi zid was its secretary-general Tihomir Lukanić.Ivan Vilibor Sinčić, the president of the party, presented the platform as a new generation of politicians that will fight against corruption and organised crime.[13]
The slate of theBridge of Independent Lists (Most) was led by its president,Božo Petrov. If elected, Petrov would have given up his seat in the European Parliament to the next candidate with most preferential votes.[14] Prior to the start of the campaign, the Most party attempted tofilibuster a bill that would increase the spending limits for the European election, but the bill was passed by the Croatian Parliament just before the deadline.[15] The party has not joined any of theEuropean political groups and announced the work within the non-affiliatedNon-Inscrits.[16]
Two right-wing parties, theIndependents for Croatia (NHR) and theCroatian Party of Rights (HSP), formed a coalition and emphasized a Europe of "free, sovereign and independent nations" as the main agenda. Their slate included both parties' presidents,Bruna Esih of the NHR and Karlo Starčević of the HSP.[17]
TheCroatian Sovereignists coalition was formed by four right-wing parties: theCroatian Conservative Party (HKS), theCroatian Growth (Hrast), theCroatian Party of Rights Dr. Ante Starčević (HSP AS), and the United Croatian Patriots (UHD). Its list was led by current MEPRuža Tomašić of the HKS, who won a mandate in 2013 and in 2014 on the HDZ-ledPatriotic Coalition slate.[18]
TheIndependent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS), the largest party of theSerbs of Croatia, ran independently for the first time in the European election.[19] Although there were speculations that the SDSS might leave the ruling coalition, its leaderMilorad Pupovac confirmed that the SDSS will remain a part it, following a meeting with Prime Minister Plenković.[20] Campaign was marked by SDSS jumbo posters with inscription "Do you know how it is to be a Serb in Croatia?" in which a word Serb was written inSerbian Cyrillic.[21] Second on the list, just behind party leaderMilorad Pupovac, was Dejan Jović, university professor and former consultant toIvo Josipović.[22] As it was expected by campaign leaders jumbo posters were target of widespread nationalist vandalism and destruction which underlined the issue of ethnic intolerance and discrimination.[22]
TheCroatian People's Party – Liberal Democrats (HNS–LD), the junior partner in the governing coalition, also ran independently, withMeđimurje County PrefectMatija Posavec leading the list.[23]
Current MEPMarijana Petir, who was elected in 2014 on the HDZ-led coalition slate, ran as an independent candidate, with a campaign focused onagrarian issues.[24]
