                Notice of June 21, 2002

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Western Balkans

                On June 26, 2001, by Executive Order 13219, I 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 Yugoslav 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. Because the actions 
                of these persons, which threaten 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 to 
                deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond 
                June 26, 2002. 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.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     June 21, 2002.
