History

The Party's founding congress was held on 9 July 2017, while it was officially registered with the Ministry of Public Administration on 26 July 2017.[6][8]

Glas automatically became a parliamentary party with four MPs, making it the fifth largest party in the country in terms of parliamentary representation. In addition, Jozo Radoš also left HNS and joined Glas, so the party also had one MEP. Radoš sat with the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group.

Another notable member is Vesna Pusić.

On 1 December 2017, the party was admitted into the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party as an affiliate member.[9]

The party was one of the founding members of the Amsterdam Coalition, an electoral alliance of seven Croatian liberal political parties.[10] The alliance was founded on 8 December 2018.[10]
