VELAGIĆ AND ĆORIĆ v. BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

FOURTH SECTION

DECISION

Application no. 34666/22
Admir VELAGIĆ and Mehmed ĆORIĆ
against Bosnia and Herzegovina

(see appended table)

The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 16 October 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 11 July 2022,

Having regard to the observations submitted by the respondent Government,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The list of applicants is set out in the appended table.

The applicants were represented by Mr N. Muhić, a lawyer practising in Sarajevo.

The applicants’ complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 concerning the non-enforcement or delayed enforcement of domestic decisions against the Sarajevo Canton were communicated to the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina (“the Government”).

THE LAW

On 3 April 2023 the Government informed the Court that the Sarajevo Canton had adopted an enforcement plan undertaking to enforce all domestic decisions against it, including the domestic decisions under consideration in the present case, within five years (that is, by the end of 2026). The applicants did not dispute that fact.

In a similar case, the Court accepted the enforcement plan of the Sarajevo Canton and held that there had been no violation of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (see Karović and Others v. Bosnia and Herzegovina, nos. 40841/13 and 3 others, 24 June 2025). There is no reason to depart from that case-law in the present case.

In view of the above, the Court finds that these complaints are manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Declares the application inadmissible.

Done in English and notified in writing on 13 November 2025.
