                Notice of June 24, 2008

                
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. I subsequently amended that order 
                in Executive Order 13304 of May 28, 2003.

                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, 2008. 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.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    June 24, 2008.
