FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Aledin Bajrami , is a Macedonian national, who was born in 1944 and lives in Bitola. He was represented before the Court by Mr D. Pažik , a lawyer practising in Bitola .

The Macedonian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr K. Bogdanov.

The applicant complained under Article 6 of the Convention about the length of enforcement proceedings .

The application was communicated to the Government, who accepted the Registrar ’ s friendly-settlement proposal . The applicant did not reply to the Registrar ’ s proposal. By letter dated 6 January 2014, the applicant ’ s representative was again requested to inform about the applicant ’ s position on the friendly-settlement proposal, and in case of refusal, to submit his claims for just satisfaction by 17 February 2014.

By letter dated 28 April 2014 , sent by registered post, the applicant was again invited to provide the same information . The applicant ’ s representative ’ s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicant ’ s representative received this letter on 12 May 2014 . However, no response has been received.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his application, within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine , the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.

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.
