DECISION

Application no . 73685/12 Goran RADOVANOVIĆ against Serbia

The European Court of Human Rights ( Third Section ), sitting on 3 February 2015 as a Committee composed of:

Ján Šikuta , President, Dragoljub Popović , Iulia Antoanella Motoc , judges, and Marialena Tsirli , Deputy Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 27 October 2012 ,

Having regard to the observations submitted by the parties,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The applicant, Mr Goran Radovanović , is a Serbian national, who was born in 1952 and lives in Belgrade . He was represented before the Court by Mr Č. Prostran , a lawyer practising in Novi Sad .

The Serbian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, M s V. Rodić .

The facts of the case, as submitted by the parties, may be summarised as follows.

On 17 June 2009 the Third Municipal Court ( Treći opštinski sud ) in Belgrade adopted a judgement in which it ordered “ Ivo Lola Ribar Sistem” a.d. Beograd , a socially/State-owned company to pay the applicant a certain amount on the account of unpaid salaries. This judgement became final on 11 November 2011. On 19 March 2012 the applicant requested the enforcement of the judgement. On 28 March 2012 the Court of First Instance ( Prvi osnovni sud ) in Belgrade issued an enforcement order in respect of the said judgement. On 5 November 2012 the judgement was enforced.

COMPLAINT

The applicant essentially complained about the non-enforcement of the judgment rendered in his favour . He relied on Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Conventio n.

THE LAW

The Government informed the Court in their observations of 5 March 2014 that on 5 November 2012 the judgement had been enforced. They invited the Court to declare the case inadmissible accordingly.

The applicant confirmed that the judgement had indeed been enforced on that date.

The Court notes that in the present application the period of enforcement lasted for seven months, between 28 March 2012 and 5 November 2012. T his period clearly complied with the requirements of the Convention (see Belkin and others v. Russia (dec.) , no. 14330/07, 5 February 2009).

It follows that the application is manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Declares the application inadmissible.

Done in English and notified in writing on 26 February 2015 .
