Most is a Croatian, value-conservative and economically liberal center-right party. Initially launched as a platform for independent local politicians, it now combines Christian democratic values with a strong focus on anti-corruption efforts and upholding state integrity.

Values and Worldview

Most's foundation is built upon the conviction that a moral vacuum in politics poses the gravest threat to the state. The party espouses a Christian-influenced worldview, placing significant emphasis on preserving traditional family structures and upholding national sovereignty. Its understanding of the state is characterized by a profound skepticism towards entrenched political party systems.

Policy Priorities

Most's agenda primarily targets the working middle class, devout citizens, and young entrepreneurs. Economically, the party advocates for tax reductions and the dismantling of bureaucratic obstacles to foster private enterprise. Socially, it champions conservative stances, particularly regarding the protection of unborn life and immigration policy. A core pledge remains the uncompromising fight against corruption and cronyism within the public sector, aiming to restore public trust in state institutions.

Role in the Political System

Within Croatia's political landscape, Most operates as a strategic challenger to the established mainstream parties. The party frequently leverages its role as a 'kingmaker' or a sharp, principled opposition, consistently emphasizing adherence to the rule of law. Its relationship with state institutions is driven by the objective of depoliticizing them. Strategically, Most positions itself as a bridge between disillusioned conservatives and protest voters, rendering it an unpredictable yet influential player in coalition negotiations.
