Matchmaking issue with party

In a party of two or more, no matter who's the leader, my friends are joining the match while I'm left behind in the menu, no error, it just stops matchmaking. 
It does not matter what mode or type of the game.
To make it  work (sometimes works) I have to leave the party, start matchmaking by myself, either wait to join a match and then quit or cancel the matchmaking. My friends have to quit the joined match, I have to rejoin with the party or invite them once more and try again.

Most of the times after a match is finished and I remain for the next map, it stops searching and leaves me hanging on the map while my friends are on the next match already.

I have to mention I'm in UK, and they both are in Romania (maybe is something to do with regions?) We all are on PC, EA app.
