Composition of the 5th Sabor
The following is the list parties represented in the 5th Sabor. Note that the Croatian law does not require candidates featured in party election lists to be members of the party, i.e. individuals can still run as independents on election lists submitted by political parties. Once elected, they are automatically considered members of that party's parliamentary caucus and normally vote together with the party even though they often continue to be formally independent.
Thus the table below includes data sorted by party caucuses. Apart from the three independents elected as representatives of various ethnic minorities (Jene Adam, Nikola Mak and Furio Radin), the December 2003 party figures also include seven other independents who were elected via party lists:
Croatian Democratic Peasant Party - 1 MP (Ivo Lončar)
Croatian Party of Rights - 1 MP (Slaven Letica)
Social Democratic Party - 5 MPs (Mirko Filipović, Ivo Josipović, Ljubo Jurčić, Vice Vukov)

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “List of members of the Sabor, 2003–2007”, the useful work is to connect “parliament of Croatia” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q29626065. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
