Serghides, judges, and Fatoş Aracı, Deputy Section Registrar, Having regard to the above applications lodged on 6 January 2016 and 10 May 2016 respectively, Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the cases, Having deliberated, decides as follows: FACTS AND PROCEDURE The applicant in the first case, Ms Gordana Kozomara, is a   Bosnia   and   Herzegovina national, who was born in 1953 and lives in Banja   Luka. She was represented before the Court by Mr   M. Kozomora, a   lawyer practising in Novi Sad. The applicant in the second case, Mr Milić Đalović, is a Serbian national, who was born in 1952 and lives in Čačak. He was represented before the Court by Mr R. Glavonjić, a lawyer practising in Čačak. The Serbian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms N. Plavšić. The applicants complained under Article 6 of the Convention about the excessive length of their respective labour-related civil proceedings. Between 9 December 2016 and 21 June 2017 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 EUR 3,100 (three thousand one hundred euros) to Ms   Gordana   Kozomara and EUR 2,700 (two thousand seven hundred euros) to Mr   Milić   Đalović, to cover any non-pecuniary damage, less any amounts which may have already been paid in that regard at the domestic level, as well as EUR 500 (five hundred euros) each, to cover any costs and expenses, which sums would be converted into national currency at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and would be free of any taxes that may be applicable. These sums will 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 the 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 payment will constitute the final resolution of the cases. 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 cases 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. Done in English and notified in writing on 5 October 2017.   Fatoş Aracı   Pere Pastor Vilanova Deputy Registrar   President
