A new government has been formed in Croatia under the leadership of Prime Minister Plenkovic

The new government led by current Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic in Croatia was established by receiving a vote of confidence from the parliament.

After the new government received the vote of confidence, Prime Minister Plenkovic and the ministers took office by swearing in.

Third Term: Plenkovic, before the vote, stated that the priority of the new government would be to create a successful, dynamic, fair, sustainable, and sovereign Croatia. The Croatian leader also promised to increase employment, raise the average wage, fight corruption, protect borders and national security, and modernize the army. Starting his third term, Plenkovic, in his statement after the formation of the new government, mentioned that the opposition-supported President Zoran Milanovic suffered a defeat in the elections. Plenkovic indicated that in the previous two terms, Croatia joined the Schengen area, adopted the Euro, acquired French Rafale fighter jets, and built the Peljesac Bridge, taking significant strategic steps. He pledged to take new steps and reduce political tensions in the third term.
