The cabinet of Đorđe Petrović, more commonly known as Karađorđe, was formed on 11 January 1811.

The next government was the Ministerial Deliberation, which was formed in 1834.

Timeline

On 11 January 1811, Karađorđe entered the Assembly of Uprising Champions and removed Jakov Nenadović and his cabinet from power by proclaiming a constitutional act that would ensure him absolute military and political power.^[1]^[2]^[3] Soon after, the government recognized pledged to his "lawful heirs", while Karađorđe also adopted the title of a Supreme Leader (Serbian Cyrillic: Вожд, romanized: Vožd).^[2]^[4]^: 80 Additionally, Karađorđe governed a highly centralized government.^[5]^[6]

Karađorđe conducted radical restructuring of local governments, especially regarding the military.^[1] The areas that were once controlled by vojvodas were now fragmented into smaller military-administrative units which limited the power of vojvodas.^[1] His power was though kept in check by his cabinet and rivals.^[2]

Composition

The government was now composed of ministries (Serbian Cyrillic: попечитељства, romanized: popečiteljstva; lit. 'guardianships').^[2] Karađorđe appointed his supporters and opponents to the cabinet.^[7]^: 73–74 Petar Dobrnjac and Milenko Stojković, who were initially supposed to serve in the cabinet, declined due to fearing that by accepting the positions, Karađorđe's power would be legitimized. In response, Karađorđe exiled them to Wallachia.^[7]^: 73–74
