                 Notice of June 18, 2019
                
                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 former Republic of Macedonia
                 (what is now the Republic of North 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, 2019. 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 18, 2019.
