^ A: Although beginning as a big tent party, and later a centre-right one, it has recently shifted to the right.

The Bridge (Croatian: Most), previously known as Bridge of Independent Lists (Croatian: Most nezavisnih lista) until November 2020,[9] is a political party in Croatia founded in 2012. The party is led by Božo Petrov, its founder and the former mayor of Metković, deputy prime minister and speaker of the Croatian Parliament. Although the party leaders initially avoided ideological topics, The Bridge underwent a rebranding prior to the 2020 Croatian parliamentary election, establishing itself as a social conservative and soft Eurosceptic party.[5][10]
