The First Government of the Republic of Croatia (Croatian: Prva Vlada Republike Hrvatske) (from the date of formation until 25 July 1990 it was legally referred to as the 14th Executive Council of the Socialist Republic of Croatia (Croatian: Četrnaesto Izvršno vijeće Sabora Socijalističke Republike Hrvatske)) was the Croatian Government announced on 30 May 1990 after the first multi-party elections ended 45 years of Communist Party rule, but while Croatia still remained a federal unit within SFR Yugoslavia. The prime minister (formally still President of the Executive Council of SR Croatia) was Stjepan Mesić of the Croatian Democratic Union. The cabinet was reformed on 24 August 1990 when Stjepan Mesić left Zagreb to assume the Croatian seat at the Yugoslav collective presidency following armed insurrection by ethnic Serbs.[1][2][3][4]
