Narodna stranka – Reformisti (People's Party – Reformists) is a Croatian liberal and centrist party in the reformist tradition of Croatian liberalism. It was founded at a congress in Zagreb on 28 September 2014 by Radimir Čačić and some two hundred members of the Croatian People's Party (HNS) from Zagreb and Varaždin who had left it that month. With a strong base in northern Croatia, notably in Varaždin County, where Čačić served two terms as county prefect, it has built itself around a pragmatic, results-oriented vision of public life.
At the heart of the Reformists' project lie ethical governance, pragmatic reform and decentralisation: a depoliticised and efficient administration, investment in education, healthcare and infrastructure, and a politics measured by concrete results rather than ideological posturing. The party places strong emphasis on good governance and the responsible management of public affairs.
Within the European Democratic Party, which it joined in 2016, Narodna stranka – Reformisti embodies a conviction at the core of the EDP's vision: that good governance, decentralisation and pragmatic reform are the foundations of a modern democracy, and that a strong Europe is built on member states that govern themselves well.
