The Cabinet of Prime Minister Zoran Milanović was the government cabinet of Croatia from 23 December 2011 until 22 January 2016. It was the 12th cabinet of Croatia, formed following the November 2011 election won by the centre-left Kukuriku coalition.
By taking office at the age of 45, Zoran Milanović became the second-youngest Prime Minister since Croatia's independence. In addition, his cabinet was also the youngest cabinet in the same period, with an average age of 48. It was surpassed by the succeeding cabinet of Tihomir Orešković, with an average age of 46.
Cabinet members came from three out of the four parties of the winning coalition, leaving only the single-issue Croatian Party of Pensioners (HSU) without representation:
The Milanović cabinet endured a major change when the first deputy prime minister Radimir Čačić resigned in November 2012 following his vehicular manslaughter conviction in Hungary. Also, Milanović's government underwent the most cabinet changes of any Croatian government to date. Namely, nine ministers in total were replaced before the cabinet's term of office expired in January 2016.
The number of ministries rose to 20, up from 16 in the preceding centre-right Cabinet of Jadranka Kosor. None of the previous ministers have retained their position, and several ministries were renamed or had their portfolios reorganized:
Only two cabinet members have previously held senior executive posts - from 2000 to 2003 Slavko Linić held the position of Deputy Prime Minister and Radimir Čačić was Minister of Public Works, Construction and Reconstruction, both under Prime Minister Ivica Račan.
