The second Cabinet of Prime Minister Ivo Sanader was announced on 12 January 2008. It was the 10th cabinet of Croatia, and its term ended on 6 July 2009 when Jadranka Kosor formed the 11th cabinet. Cabinet members represented parties of the ruling coalition which was formed following the 2007 parliamentary elections:
It was the first Croatian cabinet since the first multi-party elections in 1990 to have a party representing the Serb minority in Croatia (SDSS) as its member, with Slobodan Uzelac holding office as of one of the Deputy Prime Ministers. This was mainly due to the fact that this cabinet was heavily dependent on the support of the 8 national minority representatives in the Croatian Parliament, so as to be able to command a parliamentary majority.
Party breakdown of cabinet ministers (6 July 2009):
Some periods in the table below start before 12 January 2008 because the minister also served in the Cabinet of Ivo Sanader I (23 December 2003 – 12 January 2008) and extend beyond 6 July 2009 in case of ministers who continued to hold posts in the following Cabinet of Jadranka Kosor. The cabinet had four Deputy Prime Ministers: for Đurđa Adlešič and Slobodan Uzelac these were their only posts in the cabinet, while Jadranka Kosor and Damir Polančec served as both Deputy Prime Ministers and ministers of their respective portfolios.
