Religion Provisions of the Constitution of Serbia

One of my current research projects involves analysis of the religion provisions of various constitutions enacted since the year 2000. From time to time on this blog, I'll post extracts of those provisions arranged according to categories such as "Religious Freedom" (guarantee of individual rights), "Established Religion" (joining religion and government), "Establishment Clause" (separating religion and government), "Ceremonial Deism" (symbolic references to religion that have little or no legal effect), "Equal Protection of Religion" (non-discrimination guarantees), "Preamble", "Religious Education", and "Religious Limitations."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Constitution of Serbia has a strongly worded provision on the separation of church and state.  It's equal protection provision is quite standard, and it's religious freedom provision includes what is becoming standard: a proviso that the right doesn't apply if infringement is necessary to achieve other legitimate state values.
