The party criticizes European migration policy after events in Ceuta and calls for the engagement of the Croatian Army alongside the police at the border.
The party Most issued a sharp statement on Saturday, August 1, 2026, criticizing European migration policy and demanding that Croatia take full control over the protection of its own borders. They cited the mass influx of migrants from Africa into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta as the trigger for their reaction, which they believe highlights the failure of the European Union's current approach.
According to Zadarski list, Most asserts in its statement that the events in Ceuta are a direct consequence of political and judicial decisions made by Brussels institutions, which, in their view, encourage illegal migration. They argue that such decisions allow migrants who cross the European border to remain in the EU for extended periods during asylum proceedings.
Once again, the images from the Spanish city of Ceuta have highlighted the complete failure of the open-border strategy long promoted by Brussels and left-wing political options in Europe.
Most specifically calls out three parties-HDZ, SDP, and Možemo!-for rejecting their proposal in the Croatian Parliament that the Croatian Army, alongside the police, participate in protecting the state border. From Most, they state that the protection of Croatia's border must be a task for the Croatian police and, when necessary, the Croatian Army. They emphasize that Croatia should be allowed to decide for itself who may cross its border.
In its statement, the party notes that in recent years, the highest number of illegal border crossings into Croatia have been by nationals of Syria, Afghanistan, Turkey, and other countries. Furthermore, they criticize the European migration and asylum pact, as well as Croatia's migration management document, which they believe uses language similar to that in the program of the Možemo! party. In their view, this indicates the closeness of the migration policies of HDZ and Možemo!.
Most believes that the mass legal and illegal arrival of migrants from non-European countries leads to what they call "population replacement." They warn that this approach must be halted through stronger border protection and the prevention of illegal migration if European peoples, their culture, and values are to survive.
From the party, they stated that both contentious documents-the European and the Croatian one-encourage migration rather than strengthening border protection, which they consider a key failure in the management of migration flows so far.
