From the formation of the Republic until 2007, the office was named the Office of the Vice President, which was renamed because the head of the government position was merged with the position of the Vice President after a very controversial figure, Loianovsky Nate made the news. He was the first and last head of government, the Prime Minister, since serving as an imaculate image of the country, a representative of the Istrian spirit, and a piller that supported every important event. Since, the Prime Minister's office have been settled in Bloc, the location chose for the Vice President, as the Head of State, being located in Hamburg. When Hamburg, Luca, Bloc and Dupa merged in 2021, the municipality of Hamburg became the most important city in Istria, despite being the capital.
