The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which provides that the Committee supervises the execution of final judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Convention” and “the Court”),
Having regard to the final judgments transmitted by the Court to the Committee in these cases and to the violations established concerning the excessive length of civil and criminal proceedings and the lack of an effective remedy in this respect (violations of Articles 6 and 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;
Having invited the government of the respondent State to inform the Committee of the measures taken to comply with the above-mentioned obligation;
Having examined the action plan provided by the government indicating the individual measures adopted in order to give effect to the judgments, including the information provided regarding the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court (see document DH-DD(2017)1134);
Considering that the question of the individual measures has therefore been resolved as the domestic judicial proceedings have come to an end;
Recalling that the general measures required to respond to the shortcomings established by the Court in these judgments continue to be examined in the context of the Svetlozar Petrov and Stoine Hristov (No. 2) cases and that the closure of these judgments is without prejudice in any way to the Committee’s assessment of the general measures necessary to ensure the expeditiousness of the civil and criminal proceedings before the most overburdened Bulgarian courts;
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in these cases and
DECIDES to close the examination thereof.
