The Supreme Court (Serbian: Врховни суд, romanizedVrhovni sud), earlier known as the Supreme Court of Cassation (Serbian: Врховни касациони суд, romanizedVrhovni kasacioni sud), is the court of last resort in the Republic of Serbia. It is the court of cassation which reviews and possibly overturns previous rulings made by lower courts. It was established in 1846 by a decree of Prince Aleksandar Karađorđević. In the last 160 years since it was established, the Court has asserted its authority within judiciary in Serbia and beyond. The Supreme Court is today authorized by the Constitution of Serbia and the Law on Organization of Courts.[2]

The seat of the Supreme Court is in Belgrade. The court is currently composed of the President of the Court and 49 judges (since 2020), although the number of judges is periodically reviewed. The current President of the Supreme Court is Jasmina Vasović.
