^ A: The party is also considered as a part of the radical right, a label which can include far-right.[5]

The Croatian Sovereignists (Croatian: Hrvatski suverenisti) are a conservative[6] and Christian right-wing political party in Croatia. The party was founded in 2019 and is led by Marijan Pavliček.[7]

The party grew out of a coalition formed ahead of the 2019 European Parliament election in Croatia by four parties: the Croatian Conservative Party (HKS), the Croatian Growth (Hrast), the Croatian Party of Rights Dr. Ante Starčević (HSP AS), and the United Croatian Patriots (UHD). The coalition finished third and re-elected its list leader, MEP Ruža Tomašić.[8]
