Aleksandra IVANKOVIĆ and Others
against Bosnia and Herzegovina
(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 19 June 2025 as a Committee composed of:
Anne Louise Bormann, President,
Sebastian Răduleţu,
András Jakab, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 14 September 2024,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The list of applicants is set out in the appended table. Further to the notification under Article 36 § 1 of the Convention, the Belgian Government did not wish to exercise their right to intervene in the present case.
The Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr B. Bajić.
The applicants’ complaints under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 concerning the length of court proceedings in connection with the non-enforcement of the judgment in the applicants’ favour against a private party were communicated to the Government.
The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Bosnia and Herzegovina in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them ex gratia the amount detailed in the appended table. This amount will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court’s decision. In the event of failure to pay this amount within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on it, from the expiry of that period until settlement, at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points.
The payment will constitute the final resolution of the case.
THE LAW
The Court takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlement is based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the application.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention.
Done in English and notified in writing on 10 July 2025.
