                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.
