Background
On June 27, 2001, the President, invoking the authority, inter
alia, of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701-1706) (``IEEPA''), issued Executive Order 13219 (``E.O. 13219'').
In E.O. 13219, the President declared a national emergency to deal with
the threat posed by extremist violence in the Western Balkans and acts
intended to obstruct implementation of the Dayton Accords in Bosnia or
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 in Kosovo.
On May 28, 2003, the President issued Executive Order 13304 (``E.O.
13304''), terminating the national emergencies declared in Executive
Order 12808 of May 30, 1992, and Executive Order 13088 of June 9, 1998,
with respect to the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia,
revoking those and related executive orders, and taking additional
steps with regard to the national emergency declared in E.O. 13219.
Section 1 of E.O. 13219, as amended by E.O. 13304, blocks, with
certain exceptions, all property and interests in property that are in
the United States, or that hereafter come within the United States or
that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of United
States persons, of: (i) The persons listed in the Annex to E.O. 13304;
and (ii) persons designated by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
consultation with the Secretary of State, because they are determined:
(A) To be under open indictment by the International Criminal Tribunal
for the former Yugoslavia, unless circumstances warrant otherwise, or
(B) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing,
acts of violence that have the purpose of threatening the peace in or
diminishing the stability or security of any area or state in the
Western Balkans region, undermining the authority, efforts, or
objectives of international organizations or entities present in the
region, or endangering the safety of persons participating in or
providing support to the activities of those international
organizations or entities, or (C) to have actively obstructed, or to
pose a significant risk of actively obstructing, the Ohrid Framework
Agreement of 2001 relating to Macedonia, United Nations Security
Council Resolution 1244 relating to Kosovo, or the Dayton Accords or
the Conclusions of the Peace Implementation Conference held in London
on December 8-9, 1995, including the decisions or conclusions of the
High Representative, the Peace Implementation Council or its Steering
Board, relating to Bosnia and Herzegovina, or (D) to have materially
assisted in, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or
technological support for, or goods or services in support of, such
acts of violence or obstructionism, or any person listed in or
designated pursuant to this order, or (E) to be owned or controlled by,
or acting or purporting to act directly or indirectly for or on behalf
of, any of the foregoing persons.
On March 4, 2008, the Director of OFAC removed from the list of
Specially Designated Nationals the entity listed below, whose property
and interests in property were blocked pursuant to E.O. 13219, as
