The Swiss Government today announced that it has repealed the Ordinance of 23 June 1999 on Measures against Certain Persons from Former Yugoslavia with effect as of 1 April 2015. Since the end of 2001, this has provided for only financial sanctions against 13 individuals, including the former President S. Milosevic. This follows the repeal by the EU of its remaining sanctions against S. Milosevic and the targeted individuals at the end of October 2014; the SECO had not been notified of any blocked funds of these individuals.
