Decision in favour of Montenegro before ECHR in Strasbourg
Published on: Apr 9, 2020 • 8:00 PM Author: PR Service
The European Court of Human Rights has rendered a decision in case of Crkva Svetog Đorđa v. Montenegro, declaring the application inadmissible.
In the present application, having examined all the material before it, the Court considers that the application is inadmissible. In particular, the Court notes that the proceedings in question were terminated on 14 March 2007 when the Supreme Court rendered its decision. They therefore lasted three years and eleven days within the Court’s temporal jurisdiction (Montenegro ratified the Convention on 3 March 2004).
The Court further notes that the case involved complex factual and legal issues, in particular, issues concerning the nationalisation of property which took place in 1959 and 1965 in the former Yugoslavia. In these circumstances, the Court finds that the length of the proceedings in the present case cannot be considered excessive.
Consequently, the Court finds that the application is manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 (a) and 4 of the Convention.
