The applicants were represented by Ms D. Chakarovska-Grozdanovska, a lawyer practising in Skopje. The applicants’ complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of civil proceedings were communicated to the Government of North Macedonia (“the Government”). The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, save for Mr Bihorac, under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against North Macedonia in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts will be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court’s decision. In the event of failure to pay these amounts within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake 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 case. On 14 June 2023 the applicants’ representative informed the Registry that Mr Bihorac wanted to withdraw his application before the Court since he was no longer interested in pursuing it. THE LAW The Court takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties, who duly signed the declarations. It is satisfied that the settlement is based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the application lodged by the applicants, with the exception of Mr Bihorac. As regards Mr Bihorac and his request to withdraw the application, the Court concludes that he may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue it (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. 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 in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in respect of Mr Bihorac, and in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention in respect of the remaining applicants. Done in English and notified in writing on 14 December 2023.     Viktoriya Maradudina   Frédéric Krenc   Acting Deputy Registrar   President APPENDIX Application raising complaints under Article   6 § 1 of the Convention (excessive length of civil proceedings) Application no.
