by Milka JEVTIĆ
against
Serbia
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 27 September 2011 as a Committee composed of:
András
Sajó,
President,
Dragoljub
Popović,
Paulo

judges,
and
Françoise Elens-Passos,
Deputy Section
Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 6 November 2007,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Milka Jevtić, is a Serbian national who was born in 1954 and lives in Niš. The Serbian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr S. Carić.
The applicant complained under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention, and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 thereto, about the failure of the respondent party to pay her amounts awarded to her by a final decision rendered against a socially owned company.
On 8 July and 10 August 2011 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Serbia in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay her 6,200 (six thousand two hundred) euros to cover any non-pecuniary damage. The Government also undertook to pay to the applicant the full amount of her claim in the domestic proceedings, as recognised by the decision of 22 August 2000 (Decision of the Municipal Court in Niš, settlement Pro 483/98). The above mentioned sum would be converted into domestic currency at the rate applicable on the date of payment. These sums will be free of any taxes that may be applicable and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court pursuant to Article 37 § 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights. In the event of failure to pay these sums within the said three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on them, from 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 its Protocols and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the application (Article 37 § 1 in fine of the Convention).
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.
