In its 2007 opinion on the Constitution, the Venice Commission found that the Constitution established a “clearly parliamentary system” with a “relatively weak” President of the Republic and a “very strong Prime Minister”. The President, despite being directly elected, shall “express state unity” (Article 111 of the Constitution), and is called to perform a neutral function in government formation (Article 112.3). While it is not for the Venice Commission and ODIHR to define the political system in Serbia, the current lack of distinction between the President and parliamentary politics, in particular during the election campaign, indicates that the Venice Commission’s 2007 assessment of the political system no longer reflects its actual functioning.
