THIRD SECTION
DECISION
Application no . 54275/12 Ljubiša JANKOVIĆ against Serbia and 32 other applications (see list appended)
The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 15 April 2014 as a C ommittee composed of:
Ján Šikuta , President, Dragoljub Popović , Iulia Antoanella Motoc , judges,
and Marialena Tsirli , Deputy Section Registrar ,
Having regard to the above applications lodged between 15 June 20 12 and 17 April 201 3 ,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the cases,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicants ’ personal details are set out in the appendix. They are all represented before the Court by Ms S. Jokić, a lawyer practising in Čačak.
The Serbian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms V. Rodić.
The applicants essentially complain about the failure by the national authorities to enforce final court decisions rendered in their favour against the same socially/State-owned company . This complaint falls to be examined under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention.
All the applicants, except the applicant Blagomir Jekić, application no. 11822/13, have also obtained decisions of the Constitutional Court according to which the Constitutional Court held that the applicants had suffered a breach of their constitutional rights, awarded them certain sums as compensation for non-pecuniary damage and ordered the competent courts to bring the impugned enforcement proceedings to a conclusion as soon as possible. However, the final court judgments rendered in the applicants ’ favour have yet to be enforced.
The essential information as to the domestic proceedings in respect of each application is indicated in the append ix .
Between 18 November 2013 and 9 January 201 4 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Serbia in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications against an undertaking by the Government to pay each of them 2,000 EUR (two thousand euros) , less any amounts which may have already been paid on the basis of the relevant Constitutional Court ’ s decision , to cover any non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which would be converted into local currency at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and would be free of any taxes that may be applicable. These sums would be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. In the event of failure to pay these sums within the said three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on them, from 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 sums awarded in the domestic decisions under consideration in the present case s (see table appended), less any amounts which may have already been paid on the basis of the said decisions, plus the costs of the domestic enforcement proceedings. These payments will constitute the final resolution of the cases pending before the European Court of Human Rights.
THE LAW
The Court considers that, in accordance with Rule 42 § 1 of the Rules of Court, the applications should be joined, given their similar factual and legal background.
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 applications.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the applications out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention .
