Having regard to the Order made by the President of the Court on 16 April
1993, whereby he fixed 15 October 1993 as the time-limit for the filing of
the Memorial of Bosnia and Herzegovina and 15 April 1994 as that for the
filing of the Counter-Memorial of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro),
Having regard to the Order made by the Vice-President of the Court on 7
October 1993, whereby he extended to 15 April 1994 the time-limit for the

1995 the time-limit for the filing of the Counter-Memorial of Yugoslavia
(Serbia and Montenegro);
Whereas the Memorial of Bosnia and Herzegovina was duly filed within the
extended time-limit;
Whereas the Agent of the Respondent, by a letter with Annex dated 9 February

Whereas the Agent of the Applicant, by a letter dated 8 March 1995, received
by facsimile in the Registry on the same day, let it be known that his

Extends to 30 June 1995 the time-limit for the filing of the
Counter-Memorial of the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(Serbia and Montenegro); and
