PROCEDURE

1 . The applicants, Mr Savo Cicović , Mr Nedeljko Cicović and Ms Snježana Cicović are citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina who were born in 1953 , 1983 and 1961, respectively and live in Pale. The Bosnian-Herzegovinian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, M s M. Mijić .

2 . Without invoking any particular provision of the Convention, the applicants complained of the non-enforcement of the final judgment adopted in their favour against the Republika Srpska by the Sokolac First Instance Court on 24 June 2003.

3 . On 14 March 2011 and 23 June 2011 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Bosnia and Herzegovina in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay them in solidum 1,000 euros to cover any non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which would be converted into convertible marks at the rate applicable on the date o f payment, and would be free of any taxes that may be applicable . The sum would be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court pursuant to Article 37 § 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights. 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 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.

4 . The parties, furthermore, agreed that the Government would secure full enforcement of the domestic judgment under consideration in the present case in cash within nine months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court pursuant to Article 37 § 1 of the Convention.

The se payment s constitute d the final resolution of the case.

THE LAW

5 . 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 (Article 37 § 1 in fine of the Convention).

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.
