                Notice of June 24, 2004

                
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. Subsequent to the 
                declaration of the national emergency, the actions of 
                persons obstructing implementation of the Ohrid 
                Framework Agreement of 2001 in the former Yugoslav 
                Republic of Macedonia also became a pressing concern. I 
                amended Executive Order 13219 on May 28, 2003, in 
                Executive Order 13304 to address this concern and to 
                take additional steps with respect to the national 
                emergency. 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, 
                2004. 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 24, 2004.
