The Supreme Court (Serbian: Врховни суд, romanized: Vrhovni sud), earlier known as the Supreme Court of Cassation (Serbian: Врховни касациони суд, romanized: Vrhovni 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]
