The applicants ’ complaint under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning the payment of a standing heating charge for the apartments that they own and/or live in, which were disconnected (or have never been connected) from the district heating system, was communicated to the Government of North Macedonia (“the Government”).

These amounts will be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court ’ s decision. In the event of failure to pay these amounts within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on them, 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 cases.

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 applications.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case s out of the list.

Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention .
