The Serbian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms V. Rodi ć .

The applicant complain ed under Article 6 of the Convention about the length of c riminal proceedings which she had initiated against third parties .

On 6 March 2015 and 4 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 th i s application against an undertaking by the Government to pay 1,500 EUR (one thousand five hundred euros), less any amounts which may have already been paid in that regard at the domestic level, to cover any and all non-pecuniary damage , plus any tax that may be chargeable to the applicant, which will be converted into national currency at the rate applicable on the date of payment. This sum will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. In the event of failure to pay th i s 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 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,
