Having regard to the final judgment transmitted by the Court to the Committee in this case and to the violation of the applicant’s right to a fair trial on account of the excessive length of certain civil proceedings (violation of Article 6, paragraph 1) and the lack of an effective remedy in this respect (violation of Article 13);
Recalling the respondent State’s obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party and that this obligation entails, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:
- of individual measures to put an end to violations established and erase their consequences so as to achieve as far as possible restitutio in integrum; and
- of general measures preventing similar violations;

Recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings found by the Court in the present judgment continues to be examined within the framework of the Hadžajlić group of cases and that the closure of this case in no way prejudges the Committee’s evaluation of the general measures required;
