The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which provides that the Committee supervises the execution of final judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Convention” and “the Court”,

Having regard to the final judgments transmitted by the Court to the Committee in these cases and to the violations of the applicants’ right to a fair trial and peaceful protection of their property established on account of the excessive length of enforcement proceedings (violations of Article 6, paragraph 1, in both cases and violation of Article 1 of Protocol No.1 in the Bradarić case);

Recalling the respondent State’s obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party and that this obligation entails, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:

- of individual measures to put an end to violations established and erase their consequences so as to achieve as far as possible restitutio in integrum ; and

- of general measures preventing similar violations;

Having invited the government of the respondent State to inform the Committee of the measures taken to comply with the above-mentioned obligation;

Having examined the action plan provided by the government indicating the individual measures adopted to give effect to the judgments including the information provided regarding the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court (see document DH-DD(2020)1028 );

Considering that the question of individual measures was resolved, given that the domestic proceedings have been terminated;

Recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings found by the Court in the present judgments continues to be examined within the framework of the Martinović group of cases and that the closure of these cases therefore in no way prejudges the Committee’s evaluation of the general measures

DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention i these cases as regards the individual measures and

DECIDES to close the examination of these cases.
