The topic of this paper is government communication in a crisis situation related to the affair in the Agrokor concern. This is a case study that analyzes how the members of the Government of the Republic of Croatia communicated about the process of restructuring the concern, from the moment of assuming responsibility for this crisis by adopting the special law Lex Agrokor in April 2017 until the final settlement in July 2018. In parallel with the resolution of the crisis related to the Agrokor concern, the Government throughout the restructuring period had to deal with affairs involving some leading people from its ranks who were in charge of resolving this crisis. Therefore, the government's crisis communication was focused on the difficulties of restructuring the company, but also on how to publicly communicate affairs and conflicts of interest. The case is divided according to the model of crisis theorist Steven Fink into four phases of communication, through which the initial messages of members of the Government regarding the process of restructuring and rescuing the Agrokor concern are monitored, as well as changes in communication goals due to the outbreak of various affairs that occurred through all four phases of communication. This case study seeks to gain deeper insights into the content and manner of conducting the Government's crisis communication, which was greatly influenced by some features of the political, economic and social context. The aim of the paper is to show, within the framework of a case study with the help of qualitative and quantitative analysis of media content and interviews, that the government's communication related to the affair was successful, despite the fact that it was marked by a series of difficulties and controversies. The work is guided by the assumptions that government communication was purposeful, that is, that it achieved the goals set at the beginning of this process. However, the analysis of this case should also establish the higher political goals of Prime Minister Andrej Plenković's government, which were behind the communicated goals related to this crisis. Therefore, the Government's political activity related to this case is of exceptional importance when establishing the effectiveness of their crisis communication. Although the crisis communication of the executive power is studied, in this case it is heavily influenced by politics. Considering that in the Croatian scientific community there is a lack of research on governmental crisis communications, this paper attempts to contribute to this field of science by researching how public authorities create and manage their crisis communications. This case study examines the Government's communication related to Agrokor – a specific case in Croatian history for which the Government passed a special law and tried to solve this crisis within the framework of politics.
