Official record excerpt
( printed page 28745) Notice of June 21, 2017 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, 2017. 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. THE WHITE HOUSE, June 21, 2017. [ FR Doc. 2017-13377 Filed 6-22-17; 11:15 am] Billing code 3295-F7-P

How to use this page
This is a source-record entry, not a truth-rating by itself. It preserves the action, date and original government publication so it can be connected to later claims, implementation records, court decisions, costs and measurable outcomes. Editorial claim reviews on this site use separate finding labels and explain the evidence for those findings.
