Constitutional Court of the Republic of Serbia

Much of its work sits in a drawer. It has not considered Transparency Serbia's initiative against the special EXPO law since January 2024, and it has not ruled on the appeal by the families of the miners killed at „Soko“ since 2024. It threw out a request to annul the 2023 Belgrade elections after two and a half years, because the city assembly was never even constituted. Complaints over the pardons of the attackers on students are also pending before it. On the other hand, it ruled that the decree scrapping the „Jadar“ spatial plan was unconstitutional, and that the rules under which Siniša Mali's doctorate was annulled had been applied retroactively.
