Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the liberal-radical government in the Kingdom of Serbia from 1887. This was the first coalition government in the history of the modernday Serbian state, which consisted of liberals and radicals. In order to come to power, the Radicals agreed to fewer current sectors, while the ministries of foreign and internal affairs joined the liberals. The most important points of the government program, which reflected a mutual compromise, concerned the improvement of relations with Russia in foreign and changes in the Constitution in internal politics.
