Cabinet of Karađorđe Petrović

In 1811, Karađorđe formed a new People's Governing Council along with his adversaries during the National Assembly meeting in Belgrade.[1] He decided to invite them to the Cabinet, and those who refused the offer were forced to leave the country. Such was the fate of Milenko Stojković and Petar Dobrnjac, who refused to be Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Justice, respectively. A new cabinet was formed, and unlike the previous cabinets, this one consisted of modern Ministries, with each of them responsible for a sector of government public administration. There were six ministers in this cabinet, including the Minister of Military Affairs, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Education, Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of the Treasury, and the Grand Vilayet Judge (Minister of Justice). According to this new concept, Karađorđe still kept the supreme and absolute power in the country, but the People's Governing Council became an executive branch of the government.[2]
