The Politics of Serbia are defined by a unitary parliamentary framework that is defined by the Constitution of Serbia in which the President of the Republic is the head of state while the Prime Minister is the head of government. Executive power is exercised by the Government (consisted of the cabinet that includes Prime Minister and ministers) and the President of the Republic. Legislative power is vested in the unicameral National Assembly which is composed of 250 proportionally elected deputies. The judiciary is independent from the executive and the legislature and is headed by the Supreme Court, the highest court in the country.

The Economist Intelligence Unit rated Serbia as a "flawed democracy" in 2023 and ranked country 64th in the world on its Democracy Index.[1]
