PM Zoran Milanovic reluctantly had to replace Economy Minister Radimir Cacic (foto).
Cacic, 63...resigned after being sentenced to 22 months in jail for a car crash in Hungary...that killed 2 in 2010.
Cacic's lawyers said there would be no appeal.
Outside observers say Cacic's experience and pro-business plans will be missed...as Croatia struggles thru its 3rd year of recession.
