FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Krsto Mukoski, was born in 1974. He was represented by Mr I. Kicheec, a lawyer practising in Ohrid.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 5 §§ 1 and 3 of the Convention concerning the alleged unlawfulness of his arrest and police custody of 28 November 2017 (while he enjoyed parliamentary immunity) and the lack of sufficient reasons for his pre-trial detention were communicated to the Government of North Macedonia (“the Government”).

On 21 May 2021 the applicant informed the Registry that he wanted to withdraw the application to the Court.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (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 the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application.

Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.

Done in English and notified in writing on 24 February 2022.
