“European People Party MEP Željana Zovko warned that US “ideological fights” and EU “complex process procedures” could inhibit an EU-US deal from being reached”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence confirms that Željana Zovko is an MEP of the European People's Party (EPP) and that she participated in a plenary debate on 06-05-2025 regarding 'A unified EU response to unjustified US trade measures'. However, the specific quote regarding 'ideological fights' and 'complex process procedures' is not explicitly present in the provided evidence snippets, only the context of her involvement in the debate. Since the specific wording cannot be corroborated by a second independent source in the provided text, it remains a single-source claim.
