Notice of June 22, 2015
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Western Balkans
On June 26, 2001, by Executive Order 13219, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to
the Western Balkans, pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706), to
deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of the United
States constituted by the actions of persons engaged
in, or assisting, sponsoring, or supporting (i)
extremist violence in the Republic of Macedonia and
elsewhere in the Western Balkans region, or (ii) acts
obstructing implementation of the Dayton Accords in
Bosnia or United Nations Security Council Resolution
1244 of June 10, 1999, relating to Kosovo. The
President subsequently amended that order in Executive
Order 13304 of May 28, 2003, to take additional steps
with respect to acts obstructing implementation of the
Ohrid Framework Agreement relating to Macedonia.
The actions of persons threatening the peace and
international stabilization efforts in the Western
Balkans continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of
the United States. For this reason, the national
emergency declared on June 26, 2001, and the measures
adopted on that date and thereafter to deal with that
emergency, must continue in effect beyond June 26,
2015. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of
the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am
continuing for 1 year the national emergency with
respect to the Western Balkans declared in Executive
Order 13219.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
June 22, 2015.
