FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Rajna Antić , is a Serbian national, who lives in Smederevo .
The Serbian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms V. Rodi ć .
The applicant complained under Article s 6 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention about the respondent State ’ s failure to enforce the final court judgment of the Belgrade Municipal Court of 1 October 2001 (as amended on 5 October 2001) , rendered in the favour of her late husband , according to which a socially-owned company was ordered to pay h im certain sum. Th i s court judgment remain s unenforced to the present day .
On 23 January 2015 and 15 May 2015 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 h er 2,000 EUR (two thousand euros) , less any amounts which may have already been paid in that regard at the domestic level, to cover any non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which w ould be converted into local currency at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and w ould be free of any taxes that may be applicable. Th i s sum w ould be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. In the event of failure to pay this sum within the said three-month period, the Government undertook 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 parties, furthermore, agreed that within the said three-month period the Government would pay, from their own funds, the sum awarded in the domestic judgment under consideration in the present case, less any amounts which may have already been paid on the basis of the said judgment , plus the costs of the domestic enforcement proceedings. Th is payment will constitute the final resolution of the case pending before the European Court of Human Rights .
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 22 October 2015 .
