Notice of June 8, 2010

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 the 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.

Because 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, 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, 2010. 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.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

(Presidential Sig.)

THE WHITE HOUSE,

June 8, 2010.
