The Fourteenth Government of the Republic of Croatia () was the Croatian Government cabinet formed on 19 October 2016, following the 2016 election. 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 Lovro Kuščević remained Minister of Construction and Spatial Planning (until 9 June 2017) Slaven Dobrović remained Minister of Environment, while getting the addition of Energy to his ministerial portfolio (until 27 April 2017) 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% thought 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.
