Summary/Abstract: The institution of Constitutional Court is one of the most powerful levers of constitutionalization of the state power. This institution exists in Serbia for more than 45 years. Nevertheless, both the social system and the system of the state power organization prevented it from playing its full role. The lack of necessary legal instruments was an obstacle to this as well, but this obstacle was surmounted by the 2006 Constitution. However, the 2006 Constitution did not resolve all the predicaments concerning the institution of constitutional court. Among those predicaments are the number of judges, method and terms and conditions of their election, as well as their new competences. Some perplexities emerged as far as the character and scope of the judge’s competences goes, mainly in the sphere of elections and constitutional complaints, but also in the cases of special complaints.
