Paragraph 33
 

Article 52 of the Constitution of Serbia guarantees the right to vote and to be elected for “Every citizen of age and working ability”. It is unclear what “working ability” may refer to and could be interpreted to relate to various issues. The term is vague and broad and should be deleted from Article 52 of the Constitution, in line with the international standards to allow for maximum passive and active voting rights (see also paragraph 34 of this opinion).
