Having regard to the above applications lodged on the dates indicated in the appended table,

FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The details relevant to the present applications are set out in the appendix.
The applicant’s complaint under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the alleged arbitrary and inconsistent case-law of the domestic courts was communicated to the Serbian Government (“the Government”). Their observations on admissibility and merits were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit his own observations by 13 November 2024 and a signed authority form by 30 October 2024. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By letter dated 16 December 2024, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of observations and of a signed authority form had expired and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicant received that letter on 30 December 2024. However, no response has followed.
THE LAW
Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.
In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the applications.
Accordingly, the applications should be struck out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 3 April 2025.
