Notice of June 22, 2018
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, in 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 of 2001 relating to Macedonia.
The actions of persons threatening the peace and
international stabilization efforts in the Western
Balkans, including acts of extremist violence and
obstructionist activity, 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, 2018. 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, 2018.
