A European Commission spokesperson expressed regret after President Ursula von der Leyen appeared in a video for Croatia’s current ruling party on the eve of Sunday’s election.

Von der Leyen, who belongs to the same European People’s Party as the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), was featured at the start of the clip posted by the national party over the weekend, along with other members of the wider political group. The video also included the Commission’s Democracy and Demography Vice President Dubravka Šuica, as well as the leaders of Austria, Latvia and Bulgaria.

Critics questioned whether the video breached expectations of neutrality for the European Commission. HDZ, whose government just wrapped up its stint leading the rotating Council of the EU presidency, ultimately came out on top in Sunday’s election.

The Commission’s chief spokesperson Eric Mamer tweeted Sunday that “The President recorded a short sound bite for use in a video involving a number of EPP politicians. It was meant as a contribution in her personal capacity. Regrettably, this was not made clear in the final version of the video.”

Von der Leyen was identified in the video as the Commission president and an EU flag appeared in the background.
