                Notice of June 22, 2006

                
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 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 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, 2006. 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 22, 2006.
