Aleš Pejchal, President, Armen Harutyunyan, Jovan Ilievski, judges, and Renata Degener, Deputy Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 29 August 2014,

Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Vera Zendelska, is a Macedonian national who was born in 1951 and lives in Skopje. She was represented before the Court by Ms M. Maksimovska-Ljotik, a lawyer practising in Skopje.

The Macedonian Government (“the Government”) were initially represented by their former Agent, Mr K. Bogdanov, and subsequently by their present Agent, Ms D. Djonova.

The applicant complained under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention of unpaid salary arrears that she was owed by the State.

On 16 August 2017 the Court received a friendly settlement declaration, signed by the parties, under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay her 3,700 euros to cover any pecuniary and non ‑ pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which will be converted into Macedonian Denars at the rate applicable on the date of payment, payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. 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. 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 7 December 2017 .
