FIRST SECTION
Application no. 17218/17
Dragica VANGELOVA and others
against the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
lodged on 28 February 2017
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns an interference with the applicants’ property rights. Upon discovery that a municipal road has been built on plots of land owned by the applicants, they sought protection from trespass to their property and damages. The domestic courts found that the road had been built partly on their property, but dismissed the claim holding that its construction had been lawful. They further held that the applicants could vindicate their rights in expropriation proceedings.
QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES
1. Have the applicants exhausted all effective domestic remedies, as required by Article 35 § 1 of the Convention? The Government are invited to provide the Court with any relevant domestic case-law in this regard.
2. If so, have the applicants been deprived of their possessions in the public interest, and in accordance with the conditions provided for by law, within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention? If so, did that interference impose an excessive individual burden on them (see Former King of Greece and Others v. Greece [GC], no. 25701/94, § 98, ECHR 2000‑XII, Sovtransavto Holding v. Ukraine, no. 48553/99, § 96, ECHR 2002‑VII and Akhverdiyev v. Azerbaijan, no. 76254/11, § 99, 29 January 2015)?
