List of political parties in Croatia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Croatia has a multi-party system with numerous parties that must collaborate to form coalition governments; a party rarely has a chance of gaining power alone. Between January 1990 (when political parties were legalized in Croatia) and May 2022, 391 political parties were registered, out of which 224 have since been struck from the register.[1]
