The Berov Government was the 83rd cabinet of Bulgaria. It was approved by the parliament on 30 December 1994 with the majority of DPS, BSP and a faction of SDS. With a few exceptions, the government consisted of non-party members, including Prime Minister Lyuben Berov himself, who were considered experts in their respective field. [1]

The government eventually collapsed on 17 October 1994, when Prime Minister Berov resigned due to the GDP shrinking by roughly 24% in comparison to 1989, unemployment skyrocketing to 20%, crime rate hitting a record high and various other factors. [2]
