The Fourteenth Government of the Republic of Croatia (Croatian: Četrnaesta Vlada Republike Hrvatske) was the Croatian Government cabinet formed on 19 October 2016, following the 2016 election.[1] It was led by Prime Minister Andrej Plenković. The cabinet was dissolved on 23 July 2020 and was succeeded by a new government presided over by Plenković.
Overview
When naming the members of his own cabinet Plenković chose to retain eight ministers from the then outgoing Orešković cabinet:
- Zdravko Marić remained Minister of Finance
- Vlaho Orepić remained Minister of the Interior (until 27 April 2017)
- Ante Šprlje remained Minister of Justice (until 27 April 2017)
- Tomislav Tolušić became Minister of Agriculture after serving as Minister of Regional Development and EU Funds under Orešković

- Oleg Butković remained Minister of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure
- Tomo Medved remained Minister of Croatian Veterans, which was renamed from the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs in the previous cabinet
Following the reshuffle of 9 June 2017, two ministers from the previous make-up were given new portfolios:
- Lovro Kuščević, previously serving as Minister of Construction and Spatial Planning became Minister of Public Administration
- Tomislav Ćorić, previously serving as Minister of Labour and Pension System became Minister of Environmental Protection and Energy.
According to a regular monthly survey of political preferences conducted by Ipsos agency in November 2017, 74% of respondents thought Croatia was moving in a wrong direction, while 20% though opposite. The level of pessimism was highest since the approval of Plenković's cabinet a year earlier. According to the same survey, Government's policies were not supported by 62% of respondents, opposite to 29% who thought differently.[2]
