The president of Croatia,officially the president of the Republic of Croatia,is the head of state,commander-in-chief of the military and chief representative of the Republic of Croatia both within the country and abroad. The president is the holder of the highest office in Croatia. However,the president is not the head of the executive branch as Croatia has a parliamentary system in which the holder of the post of prime minister is the most powerful person within the country's constitutional framework and everyday politics.
The prime minister of Croatia,officially the president of the government of the Republic of Croatia,is Croatia's head of government,and is de facto the most powerful and influential state officeholder in the Croatian system of government. Following the first-time establishment of the office in 1945,the 1990–2000 semi-presidential period is the only exception where the president of Croatia held de facto executive authority. In the formal Croatian order of precedence,however,the position of prime minister is the third highest state office,after the president of the Republic and the speaker of the Parliament.
The Government of Croatia,formally the Government of the Republic of Croatia,commonly abbreviated to Croatian Government,is the main executive branch of government in Croatia. It is led by the president of the Government,informally abbreviated to premier or prime minister. The prime minister is nominated by the president of the Republic from among those candidates who enjoy majority support in the Croatian Parliament;the candidate is then chosen by the Parliament. There are 20 other government members,serving as deputy prime ministers,government ministers or both;they are chosen by the prime minister and confirmed by the Parliament (Sabor). The Government of the Republic of Croatia exercises its executive powers in conformity with the Croatian Constitution and legislation enacted by the Croatian Parliament. The current government is led by Prime Minister Andrej Plenković.
A grand coalition is an arrangement in a multi-party parliamentary system in which the two largest political parties of opposing political ideologies unite in a coalition government.

The First Government of the Republic of Croatia 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 was Stjepan Mesićof the Croatian Democratic Union. The cabinet was reformed on 24 August 1990 when Stjepan Mesićleft Zagreb to assume the Croatian seat at the Yugoslav collective presidency following armed insurrection by ethnic Serbs.
The Seventh Government of the Republic of Croatia was the first of two Croatian Government cabinets led by Prime Minister Ivica Račan. It was appointed on 27 January 2000 by a decree of the Acting President of the Republic and Speaker of Parliament,Vlatko Pavletić. The cabinet was confirmed by a parliamentary vote of confidence in the Chamber of Representatives on 2 February 2000,with 122 of 151 Members of Parliament voting for,1 against and 1 abstaining. Its term ended on 30 July 2002,when it was reconstructed and replaced by Cabinet of Ivica Račan II. The cabinet was formed following the 2000 parliamentary elections,in which the centre-right party Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) was defeated by a broad coalition of several centre-left parties. This marked an end to HDZ's dominance in Croatian politics since the first multi-party election in 1990. However,the period under Prime Minister Račan was marred with constant disagreements among coalition members,which later led to some parties leaving the ruling coalition. This ultimately paved the way for HDZ's return to power in the 2003 parliamentary elections.
The Sixth Government of the Republic of Croatia was the Croatian Government cabinet led by Prime Minister Zlatko Mateša. Its members took office on 7 November 1995 by decree of President Franjo Tuđman.

It was formed by the ruling Croatian Democratic Union,and its term ended on 27 January 2000 after the 2000 Croatian parliamentary election,with the appointment of Ivica Račan as Prime Minister. This was the first peacetime government of independent Croatia,as the Croatian War of Independence officially ended with the Erdut Agreement just days after the cabinet was appointed by the President.
The Second Government of the Republic of Croatia was the Croatian Government cabinet led by Prime Minister Josip Manolić. It was announced on 24 August 1990,when the previous prime minister,Stjepan Mesić,left Zagreb to assume the Croatian seat at the Yugoslav collective presidency following armed insurrection by ethnic Serbs. During the cabinet's duration Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia on 25 June 1991. It was the 2nd cabinet of modern Croatia since the first multi-party elections,formed by the Croatian Democratic Union,and was reconstructed on 17 July 1991 in favor of a national unity government in response to the escalation of the Croatian War of Independence.
The Third Government of the Republic of Croatia or The Government of National Unity was the Croatian Government cabinet led by Prime Minister Franjo Gregurić. It was announced on 17 July 1991 in response to the escalation of the Croatian War of Independence. It was the 3rd cabinet of Croatia since the first multi-party elections,and its term ended on 12 August 1992 after the first parliamentary election under the 1990 Croatian Constitution. During the term of this cabinet Croatia gained internationally diplomatic recognition and became a member of the United Nations.
