and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above applications lodged on the various dates indicated in the appended table,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.

The applicants’ complaints under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 concerning the non-enforcement of domestic decisions against the Sarajevo Canton were communicated to the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to submit their own observations. No reply was received.

By letters dated 16 December 2024, sent by registered post, the applicants were notified that the period allowed for submission of their observations had expired on 6 November 2024 and that no extension of time had been requested. Furthermore, the deadline for the appointment of an “advocate” within the meaning of Rule 36 § 4 of the Rules of Court expired on 23 October 2024. The applicants’ attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicants received these letters between 28 and 31 December 2024 (see the appendix). However, no response has followed.

THE LAW

Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.

In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the applications.

Accordingly, the applications should be struck 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.

Done in English and notified in writing on 15 May 2025.
