The applicants were represented by Ms N. Boshkova, a lawyer practising in Skopje. The application concerns the applicants’ complaints under Article   8 of the Convention concerning the alleged failure of the domestic authorities to protect them from the publication and dissemination of their sexually explicit videos and/or photos. The application was communicated to the Government of North Macedonia (“the Government”). The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, 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 each applicant the amount detailed in the appended table. This amount 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 this amount within the above ‑ mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on it, 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. THE LAW 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 the Protocols thereto and finds no reasons to justify a 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   39 of the Convention. Done in English and notified in writing on 13 May 2026.     Viktoriya Maradudina   Stéphane Pisani   Acting Deputy Registrar   President     APPENDIX Application raising complaints under Article 8 of the Convention (right to respect for private life)   Application no.
