In this paper, I aim to demonstrate that the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis has only intensified the deterioration of Serbian constitutional order and has weakened its democratic institutions. The central argument is that the state of emergency declared in mid-March 2020, as well as the other measures imposed on the citizens affecting their human rights, has been problematic from both procedural and substantial aspects. The paper discusses the consequences of those measures for the quality of democracy and the rule of law in Serbia.
