The Second Cabinet of Stevča Mihailović was a cabinet of the Principality of Serbia that was formed on 24th April, 1876, and dissolved on 1st October, 1878. This Cabinet saw some of the most decisive moments in the history of Modern Serbia, such as wars with the Ottoman Empire that finally led to the full independence of Serbia from the Ottomans. In 1876, Serbia attacked the Ottoman Empire with the intent of reconquering "Greater Serbia", this cabinet then beginning the First Balkan War in 1877 and the independence of Serbia in 1878. This was due to the Berlin Treaty being signed to end the war, and Serbia gaining its full internationally recognized independence and territorial expansion. Jovan Ristić, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was Serbia's representative in Berlin.
