Superconductivity

Yesterday I was going through the theory of superconductivity. I need to be clarified on one thing. Does the Circuit theory laws hold in the case of superconductors?

Kirchoff's Laws definitely still hold. I am not 100% sure about Ohm's law.
Kirchoff's Laws will hold, Ohm's law, however, can not be applied here. It is called a law by historical convention, for example it doesn't hold for diodes either. Voltage is not proportional to current in this case. The laws of conservation are strictly held in all situations.
