The Berov Government was the 83rd cabinet of Bulgaria. It was approved by the parliament on 30 December 1992 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]
