Abstract: This chronicle on the developments in the field of constitutional law in Serbia in 2011 focuses on the operation of the Serbian Constitutional Court. During this year, the Court has passed the first decision on the merits in a case concerning the banning of an extremist organisation. The text outlines the basic features of constitutional and legislative regulation of this topic and tries to point out certain inconsistencies, which could cause difficulties in practice, in future deliberations of the Constitutional Court in similar cases. Based on the two decisions passed in cases of the proposed banning of several extremist organisations, certain important questions have been underlined and the answers to them could constitute a solid basis for establishing consistent case law in these matters. The chronicle also touches upon an interesting decision of the Court on a constitutional complaint submitted by the organisers of the Belgrade Pride Parade, adopted in December 2011, which is in a certain way connected to the Court's case law on banning extremist associations. Finally, it provides a very short overview of the recent amendments of the Law on the Constitutional Court.
