What is the legal system in Serbia?

Serbia adopts a legal system based on decree law. This means that the main source of law is laws and decrees. Serbia's legal system is determined by the 2006 Constitution, which is the country's constitution. The Constitution regulates fundamental rights and freedoms, powers and responsibilities of state bodies, regulation of political parties and elections, and other constitutional bodies. In Serbia, laws are adopted by the Serbian National Assembly and approved by the President. Laws regulate the rights and freedoms of citizens, determine crimes and penalties, and regulate areas such as labor and commercial law. The judicial system in Serbia is independent and consists of judicial bodies, courts and prosecutor's offices. There are different levels of courts such as the Supreme Court, appellate courts, district courts and special courts. Prosecutors investigate crimes and prosecute cases in the courts. In Serbia, law education is provided at universities. Law schools teach students the basic principles of law, laws and legal processes. Law graduates can work as lawyers, judges, prosecutors or other legal professions. Serbia's legal system is constantly evolving with efforts to comply with EU norms. This requires Serbia to embrace the rule of law and democratic principles in its EU accession process.
