The Government of Serbia under Vojislav Koštunica as the Prime Minister was formed on March 3, 2004. After 2007 Serbian parliamentary election on 21 January, this cabinet served as a transitional government handling only technical issues until the new government was finally formed in May 2007.
This government of Serbia consisted of four political parties - DSS (10 portfolios), G-17 Plus (4 portfolios), SPO & NS (7 portfolios and their subsidiary parties) with parliamentary support of the SPS.
On March 6, Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica appointed a close aide, Rade Bulatović, as his new secret service chief despite Bulatović arrest as a suspect in the assassination of the former prime minister.
During Koštunica's administration, most of the 24 disputed privatizations took place, for which there are serious suspicions that there were large-scale embezzlements. Large number of privatizations were later annulled due to non-fulfillment of privatization contracts or those companies went bankrupt.
