The EPP, which gathers over 50 popular, Christian Democrat and
Conservative parties from Europe, is the faction with the most
seats in the European Parliament.
The annual congress of the EPP is held on the level of party
presidents.
This is "the best response to those who in Croatia criticise the HDZ
claiming that it would push Croatia into isolation," read an HDZ
statement.
