Summary/Abstract: The Venice Commission was founded in 1990 as advisory body for European Council’s constitutional issues and, according to its members, it became an internationally recognized independent legal advisory body which helps individual states in dealing with legal and constitutional issues. Before a critical analysis of the opinion of the Venice Commission about the Constitution of Serbia we should determine who offers primary aid, its nature and who it is offered to and ascertain whether that aid is professional and independent. After analyzing the Commission’s opinion about the Constitution of Serbia we concluded that it is heavily burdened with political preferences, that its professional significance, excluding a small number of explicitly stated exceptions, is small, sometimes even trivial and that the Constitution of Serbia deserves a more serious and professional evaluation than one given by the Venice Commission.
