2. If Slovenia indicates its readiness, as a practical matter, to receive a person convicted by the Court, the Presidency shall request Slovenia to provide the Court with updated information regarding its national detention regime, including, inter alia, recently promulgated legislation and administrative guidelines.
3. If the Presidency designates Slovenia as the State in which the sentenced person shall serve his or her sentence, it shall notify Slovenia of its decision. When notifying Slovenia of its designation as the State of enforcement, the Presidency shall transmit, inter alia, the following information and documents:

Supervision of enforcement of sentence and conditions of imprisonment
1. The enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment shall be subject to the supervision of the Court and shall be consistent with widely accepted international standards governing the treatment of prisoners.

(a) When necessary, request any information, report or expert opinion from Slovenia or from any reliable sources;
(b) Where appropriate, delegate a judge of the Court or a member of the staff of the Court who will be responsible, after notifying Slovenia, for meeting the sentenced person and hearing his or her views, without the presence of national authorities;

The Court shall be given at least 45 calendar days' notice of any such known or foreseeable circumstances. During this period, Slovenia shall take no action that might prejudice its obligations under Article 110 of the Rome Statute.
7. Slovenia may at any time withdraw its conditions agreed under Article 103(1) of the Rome Statute. Any amendments or additions to such conditions shall be subject to confirmation by the Presidency.
8. When a sentenced person is granted a prison programme or benefit available under the domestic law of Slovenia which may entail some activity outside the prison facility, Slovenia shall communicate that fact to the Presidency, together with any relevant information or observation, sufficiently in advance of any such activity outside the prison facility taking place, in order to enable the Court to exercise its supervisory function.
9. Slovenia shall allow the inspection of the conditions of imprisonment and treatment of the sentenced person(s) by the International Committee of the Red Cross (hereinafter referred to as “the ICRC”) and by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment of Punishment (hereinafter referred to as “the CPT”) at any time and on a periodic basis, the frequency of visits to be determined by the ICRC or CPT.

2. In accordance with Article 108 of the Rome Statute, a sentenced person in the custody of Slovenia shall not be subject to prosecution or punishment or to extradition to another State for any conduct engaged in prior to that person's transfer to Slovenia, unless such prosecution, punishment or extradition has been approved by the Presidency at the request of Slovenia.

(c) The Presidency may in all cases request any document or additional information from Slovenia or the State requesting the extradition.
(d) The Presidency may decide to conduct a hearing.
(e) The Presidency shall make a determination as soon as possible. This determination shall be notified to all those who have participated in the proceedings.
(f) If the request for prosecution, punishment, or extradition to another State concerns the enforcement of a sentence, the sentenced person may serve that sentence in Slovenia or be extradited to another State only after having served the full sentence pronounced by the Court.
(g) The Presidency may authorize the temporary extradition of the sentenced person to another State for prosecution only if it has obtained assurances which it deems to be sufficient that the sentenced person will be kept in custody in that State and transferred back to Slovenia, after the prosecution.
3. Paragraph 2 of this article shall cease to apply if the sentenced person remains voluntarily for more than 30 calendar days in the territory of Slovenia after having served the full sentence imposed by the Court, or returns to the territory of that State after having left it.
4. Slovenia shall inform the Presidency of any prosecution of the sentenced person for events subsequent to his or her transfer.
Appeal, revision, reduction, and extension of sentence
1. Subject to the conditions contained in the Agreement, the sentence of imprisonment shall be binding on Slovenia, which shall in no case modify it.
2. Slovenia shall not release the person before expiry of the sentence pronounced by the Court. Slovenia shall terminate the enforcement of the sentence as soon as it is informed by the Court of any decision or measure as a result of which the sentence ceases to be enforceable.
3. The Court alone shall have the right to decide any application for appeal and revision and Slovenia shall not impede the making of any such application by the sentenced person.
4. The Court alone shall have the right to decide any reduction of sentence and shall rule on a reduction of sentence after having heard the person.
5. Where the Presidency extends the term of imprisonment pursuant to Rule 146(5), the Presidency may ask for observations from Slovenia.
1. If the sentenced person escapes from custody, Slovenia shall, as soon as possible, advise the Registrar by any medium capable of delivering a written record.
2. If the sentenced person escapes from custody and flees Slovenia, Slovenia may, after consultation with the Presidency, request the person's extradition or surrender from the State in which the person is located pursuant to any existing bilateral or multilateral arrangements, or may request that the Presidency seek the person's surrender, in accordance with Part 9 of the Rome Statute. It may direct that the person be delivered to Slovenia or to another State designated by the Court.
3. If the State in which the sentenced person is located agrees to surrender him or her to Slovenia, pursuant to either international agreements or its national legislation, Slovenia shall so advise the Registrar in writing. The person shall be surrendered to Slovenia as soon as possible, if necessary in consultation with the Registrar. The Registrar shall provide all necessary assistance, including, if necessary, the presentation of requests for transit to the States concerned, in accordance with Rule 207.
4. If the sentenced person is surrendered to the Court, the Court shall transfer him or her to Slovenia. Nevertheless, the Presidency may, acting on its own motion or at the request of the Prosecutor or of Slovenia, designate another State, including the State to the territory of which the sentenced person has fled.
5. In all cases, the entire period of detention in the territory of the State in which the sentenced person was in custody after his or her escape and, where paragraph 4 of this Article is applicable, the period of detention at the seat of the Court following the surrender of the sentenced person from the State in which he or she was located shall be deducted from the sentence remaining to be served.
Change in designation of Slovenia as the State of enforcement
1. The Presidency, acting on its own motion or at the request of Slovenia or the sentenced person or the Prosecutor, may, at any time, decide to transfer a sentenced person to a prison of another State.

(a) Request views from Slovenia;
(b) Consider written or oral presentations of the sentenced person and the Prosecutor;
(c) Consider written or oral expert opinion concerning, inter alia, the sentenced person;
(d) Obtain any other relevant information from any reliable sources.
3. The Presidency shall inform the sentenced person, the Prosecutor, the Registrar and Slovenia of its decision and of the reasons therefor.
4. In addition, the Court shall make appropriate arrangements for the expedited transfer of the sentenced person, as soon as possible, after the notification of Slovenia that further enforcement of a sentence has become impossible due to the conditions of acceptance no longer being met. In such event, Slovenia and the Court shall co-operate to ensure the ongoing enforcement of the sentence in the interim period prior to such transfer.
Transfer of the sentenced person upon completion of the sentence
1. Slovenia shall notify the Presidency:
(a) 90 calendar days before the scheduled completion of the sentence, that the sentence will be completed;
(b) 30 calendar days before the scheduled completion of the sentence of the relevant information concerning the intention of Slovenia to authorize the person to remain in its territory or the location where it intends to transfer the person.
2. Following completion of the sentence, a sentenced person who is not a national of Slovenia may, in accordance with the law of Slovenia, be transferred to a State which is obliged to receive him or her, or to another State which agrees to receive him or her, taking into account any wishes of the person to be transferred to that State, unless Slovenia authorizes the person to remain in its territory.
3. Subject to the provisions of Article 6, Slovenia may also, in accordance with its national law, extradite or otherwise surrender the person to a State which has requested the extradition or surrender of the person for purposes of trial or enforcement of a sentence.

1. The Agreement may be amended, after consultation, by mutual written consent of the parties. Agreed amendments shall enter into force in accordance with the procedure determined in Article 13.
2. The Agreement may be terminated, after consultation, by either party with two months prior written notice. Such termination shall not affect sentences in force at the time of the termination, and the provisions of the Agreement shall continue to apply until such sentences have been completed, terminated or, if applicable, the sentenced person has been transferred in accordance with Article 10 of the Agreement.

OB UPOŠTEVANJU splošno sprejetih mednarodnih standardov, ki urejajo ravnanje z zaporniki, vključno s Standardnimi minimalnimi pravili o ravnanju z zaporniki (Pravila Nelsona Mandele), sprejetimi z resolucijo Generalne skupščine št. 70/175 z dne 17. decembra 2015, Temeljnimi načeli za varstvo vseh oseb, ki so kakor koli pridržane ali zaprte, sprejetimi z resolucijo Generalne skupščine št. 43/173 z dne 9. decembra 1988, in Temeljnimi načeli za ravnanje z zaporniki, sprejetimi z resolucijo Generalne skupščine št. 45/111 z dne 14. decembra 1990;

1. člen
Namen in področje uporabe sporazuma
Ta sporazum ureja zadeve, ki se nanašajo na izvrševanje kazni ali izhajajo iz izvrševanja kazni, ki jih izreče Sodišče in se prestajajo v Sloveniji.
2. člen
Postopek in informacije v zvezi z določitvijo
1. Ko obravnavni senat obsodi obtoženo osebo, predsedstvo Sodišča (v nadaljnjem besedilu: predsedstvo) naveže stik s Slovenijo in jo zaprosi, da v 30 koledarskih dneh izrazi svojo pripravljenost, ali dejansko sprejme osebo, ki jo je Sodišče obsodilo.
2. Če Slovenija izrazi pripravljenost, da dejansko sprejme osebo, ki jo je Sodišče obsodilo, jo predsedstvo zaprosi, da Sodišču pošlje posodobljene informacije o svoji državni ureditvi izvrševanja kazni zapora, kar med drugim vključuje pred kratkim razglašeno zakonodajo in upravne smernice.
3. Če predsedstvo določi Slovenijo kot državo, v kateri bo obsojena oseba prestajala kazen, Slovenijo uradno obvesti o svoji odločitvi. Ko predsedstvo uradno obvesti Slovenijo, da jo je določilo kot državo izvrševanja, ji med drugim pošlje naslednje informacije in dokumente:
(a) ime, državljanstvo, datum in kraj rojstva obsojene osebe;
(b) kopijo pravnomočne obsodilne sodbe in izrečene kazni;
(c) trajanje in datum začetka prestajanja kazni, preostali čas prestajanja kazni in vse druge ukrepe, ki vplivajo na dolžino ali pogoje izrečene kazni;

(f) vse informacije, ki jih morda ima Sodišče o tem, ali ima obsojena oseba kakršne koli vezi s Slovenijo, in vse druge informacije, ki so pomembne za izvrševanje kazni, vključno z varnostnimi vidiki.
4. Slovenija se brez odlašanja odloči glede določitve Sodišča in predsedstvu sporoči, ali sprejema to določitev.
3. člen
Premestitev obsojene osebe
1. Ko Slovenija sprejme določitev, se obsojena oseba v najkrajšem možnem času premesti v Slovenijo.
2. Tajnik Sodišča (v nadaljnjem besedilu: tajnik) po posvetu s Slovenijo in državo gostiteljico zagotovi ustrezno premestitev obsojene osebe.
3. Predsedstvo obsojeno osebo pred premestitvijo seznani z vsebino tega sporazuma.
4. člen
Nadziranje izvrševanja kazni in pogojev prestajanja kazni zapora
1. Izvrševanje kazni zapora poteka pod nadzorom Sodišča in mora biti v skladu s splošno sprejetimi mednarodnimi standardi o ravnanju z zaporniki.
2. Za nadziranje izvrševanja kazni zapora predsedstvo:
(a) po potrebi Slovenijo ali druge zanesljive vire zaprosi za informacije, poročilo ali strokovno mnenje;
(b) kadar je primerno, določi sodnika Sodišča ali člana osebja Sodišča, ki bo po uradni seznanitvi Slovenije odgovoren za srečanje z obsojeno osebo in seznanitev z njenimi stališči, brez prisotnosti državnih organov;
(c) kadar je primerno, Sloveniji omogoči, da se opredeli do stališč obsojene osebe, ki jih je ta izrazila v skladu s pododstavkom b.
3. Slovenija predsedstvo seznani z vsakim pomembnim dogodkom v zvezi z obsojeno osebo, kot je zdravljenje ali varnostne zadeve.
4. Komuniciranje med obsojeno osebo in Sodiščem je neovirano in zaupno. Predsedstvo, ob posvetovanju s Slovenijo, spoštuje te zahteve pri vzpostavljanju ustreznih ureditev za uresničevanje pravice obsojene osebe do komuniciranja s Sodiščem o pogojih prestajanja kazni zapora.
5. Pogoje prestajanja kazni zapora ureja zakonodaja Slovenije in so v skladu s splošno sprejetimi mednarodnimi standardi o ravnanju z zaporniki. Ti pogoji nikakor ne smejo biti bolj ali manj ugodni kot tisti, ki so na voljo zapornikom, obsojenim za podobna kazniva dejanja v Sloveniji.
6. Slovenija uradno obvesti Sodišče o katerih koli okoliščinah, vključno z izpolnjevanjem vseh pogojev, dogovorjenih v skladu s prvim odstavkom 103. člena Rimskega statuta, ki bi lahko pomembno vplivale na pogoje ali obseg prestajanja kazni zapora. Sodišče je treba o vseh takih znanih ali predvidljivih okoliščinah uradno obvestiti vsaj 45 koledarskih dni vnaprej. V tem času Slovenija ne ukrene ničesar, kar bi lahko vplivalo na njene obveznosti po 110. členu Rimskega statuta.
7. Slovenija lahko kadar koli umakne svoje pogoje, dogovorjene v skladu s prvim odstavkom 103. člena Rimskega statuta. Vse spremembe ali dopolnitve teh pogojev potrdi predsedstvo.
8. Kadar je obsojeni osebi odobren program prestajanja kazni zapora ali ugodnost, ki je na voljo v skladu z domačo zakonodajo Slovenije in lahko vključuje nekatere dejavnosti zunaj zapora, Slovenija to sporoči predsedstvu skupaj z vsemi ustreznimi informacijami ali opažanji dovolj zgodaj pred izvajanjem takšne dejavnosti zunaj zapora, da omogoči Sodišču opravljanje njegove nadzorne funkcije.
9. Slovenija omogoči nadziranje pogojev prestajanja kazni zapora in ravnanja z obsojeno osebo (obsojenimi osebami) Mednarodnemu odboru Rdečega križa (v nadaljnjem besedilu: ICRC) in Evropskemu odboru za preprečevanje mučenja in nečloveškega ali ponižujočega ravnanja ali kaznovanja (v nadaljnjem besedilu: CPT), ki se lahko izvaja kadar koli in redno, pri čemer pogostost obiskov določita ICRC ali CPT. Po vsakem obisku ICRC ali CPT v državi izvršiteljici:
(a) ICRC ali CPT predloži Sloveniji in predsedstvu zaupno poročilo o svojih ugotovitvah skupaj s priporočili, če je to potrebno;
(b) se Slovenija in predsedstvo posvetujeta o ugotovitvah poročila; predsedstvo nato pozove Slovenijo, naj poroča o kakršnih koli spremembah pogojev prestajanja kazni zapora na podlagi priporočil ICRC ali CPT;
(c) Slovenija in predsedstvo predložita ICRC ali CPT skupni odgovor v 30 koledarskih dneh po prejemu poročila. V skupnem odgovoru se obravnavajo ugotovitve poročila in navedejo podrobni ukrepi, s katerimi Slovenija in predsedstvo izpolnjujeta priporočila, vsebovana v poročilu.
5. člen
Če Sodišče po premestitvi obsojene osebe v Slovenijo odredi, da se mora obsojena oseba zglasiti pred Sodiščem, se obsojena oseba začasno premesti na Sodišče pod pogojem, da se vrne v Slovenijo v roku, ki ga določi Sodišče. Čas, ki ga obsojena oseba preživi v varstvu Sodišča, se odšteje od časa celotne kazni, ki jo še mora prestati v Sloveniji.
6. člen
Omejitev pregona ali kaznovanja
1. Obsojeni osebi se ne sme soditi pred slovenskim sodiščem za kaznivo dejanje iz 5. člena Rimskega statuta, za katero je Sodišče to osebo že obsodilo ali jo oprostilo.
2. V skladu s 108. členom Rimskega statuta se obsojena oseba v varstvu Slovenije ne sme preganjati, kaznovati ali izročiti drugi državi za kakršno koli ravnanje, storjeno pred njeno premestitvijo v Slovenijo, razen če je tak pregon, kaznovanje ali izročitev odobrilo predsedstvo na zahtevo Slovenije.
(a) Če namerava Slovenija preganjati ali izvršiti kazen zoper obsojeno osebo za kakršno koli ravnanje, storjeno pred njeno premestitvijo, mora o svoji nameri uradno obvestiti predsedstvo in mu poslati naslednje dokumente:
(i) navedbo dejstev iz zadeve in njihovo pravno opredelitev;
(ii) kopijo vseh ustreznih pravnih določb, vključno s tistimi, ki se nanašajo na zastaranje in predpisane kazni;
(iii) kopijo kakršnega koli izreka kazni, naloga za prijetje ali drugega dokumenta z enako veljavo ali katere koli druge pravne odločbe, ki jo namerava izvršiti država;
(iv) zapisnik, ki vsebuje stališča obsojene osebe, pridobljena po ustrezni seznanitvi osebe s postopkom.
(b) Če druga država zahteva izročitev, Slovenija pošlje predsedstvu celotno zahtevo z zapisnikom, ki vsebuje stališča obsojene osebe, pridobljena po ustrezni seznanitvi osebe z zahtevo za izročitev.
(c) Predsedstvo lahko v vseh primerih od Slovenije ali države, ki zahteva izročitev, zahteva kateri koli dokument ali dodatne informacije.
(d) Predsedstvo se lahko odloči, da bo opravilo zaslišanje.
(e) Predsedstvo sprejme odločitev v najkrajšem možnem času. O tej odločitvi je treba uradno obvestiti vse, ki so sodelovali v postopku.
(f) Če se zahteva za pregon, kaznovanje ali izročitev drugi državi nanaša na izvršitev kazni, lahko obsojena oseba to kazen prestaja v Sloveniji ali pa se izroči drugi državi šele po tem, ko prestane celotno kazen, ki jo je izreklo Sodišče.
(g) Predsedstvo lahko dovoli začasno izročitev obsojene osebe drugi državi zaradi pregona samo, če pridobi zagotovila, ki jih šteje za ustrezna, da bo obsojena oseba v varstvu te države in bo po pregonu premeščena nazaj v Slovenijo.
3. Drugi odstavek tega člena se preneha uporabljati, če obsojena oseba prostovoljno ostane na ozemlju Slovenije več kot 30 koledarskih dni, potem ko je prestala celotno kazen, ki jo je izreklo Sodišče, ali se vrne na ozemlje te države, potem ko jo je zapustila.
4. Slovenija obvesti predsedstvo o kakršnem koli pregonu obsojene osebe zaradi dogodkov po njeni premestitvi.
7. člen
Pritožba, revizija, omilitev in podaljšanje kazni
1. Ob upoštevanju pogojev iz tega sporazuma je kazen zapora zavezujoča za Slovenijo, ki je v nobenem primeru ne sme spreminjati.
2. Slovenija osebe ne sme izpustiti pred iztekom kazni, ki jo je izreklo Sodišče. Slovenija preneha izvrševati kazen takoj, ko jo Sodišče obvesti o kateri koli odločitvi ali ukrepu, zaradi katerega kazen ni več izvršljiva.
3. Samo Sodišče ima pravico, da odloča o kakršni koli pritožbi ali zahtevi za revizijo, Slovenija pa obsojene osebe ne sme ovirati pri vložitvi take vloge.
4. Samo Sodišče ima pravico odločiti o omilitvi kazni in o omilitvi kazni odloči po zaslišanju osebe.
5. Če predsedstvo podaljša kazen zapora v skladu s 5. točko 146. pravila, lahko predsedstvo zaprosi Slovenijo, naj poda svoja stališča.
8. člen
1. Če obsojena oseba pobegne iz varstva, Slovenija čim prej obvesti tajnika s katerim koli sredstvom za prenos pisnega zapisa.
2. Če obsojena oseba pobegne iz varstva in zbeži iz Slovenije, lahko Slovenija, po posvetu s predsedstvom, zahteva izročitev ali predajo osebe od države, v kateri se oseba zadržuje, v skladu s katerimi koli veljavnimi dvostranskimi ali večstranskimi sporazumi, ali pa zaprosi, da predsedstvo zahteva predajo osebe v skladu z 9. delom Rimskega statuta. Predsedstvo lahko odredi, da se oseba izroči Sloveniji ali drugi državi, ki jo določi Sodišče.
3. Če se država, v kateri se obsojena oseba zadržuje, strinja s predajo te osebe Sloveniji v skladu z mednarodnimi sporazumi ali svojo notranjo zakonodajo, Slovenija o tem pisno obvesti tajnika. Oseba se v najkrajšem možnem času preda Sloveniji, po potrebi po posvetovanju s tajnikom. Tajnik zagotovi vso potrebno pomoč, vključno s predložitvijo zaprosil za tranzit zadevnim državam v skladu z 207. pravilom, če je to potrebno.
4. Če je obsojena oseba predana Sodišču, jo Sodišče premesti v Slovenijo. Kljub temu lahko predsedstvo na lastno pobudo ali na zahtevo tožilca ali Slovenije določi drugo državo, vključno z državo, na ozemlje katere je pobegnila obsojena oseba.
5. V vsakem primeru se celotni čas pridržanja na ozemlju države, v katere varstvu je bila obsojena oseba po pobegu, in kadar se uporablja četrti odstavek tega člena, čas pridržanja na sedežu Sodišča po predaji obsojene osebe iz države, v kateri se je zadrževala, odštejeta od kazni, ki jo mora oseba še prestati.
9. člen
Sprememba določitve Slovenije kot države izvrševanja
1. Predsedstvo lahko kadar koli na lastno pobudo ali na zahtevo Slovenije ali obsojene osebe ali tožilca odloči, da se obsojena oseba premesti v zapor druge države.
2. Preden sprejme odločitev, da spremeni določitev Slovenije kot države izvrševanja, lahko predsedstvo:
(a) zaprosi za stališča Slovenije;
(b) obravnava pisne ali ustne vloge obsojene osebe in tožilca;
(c) obravnava pisno ali ustno izvedensko mnenje, ki se med drugim nanaša na obsojeno osebo;
(d) pridobi vse druge pomembne informacije iz katerega koli zanesljivega vira.
3. Predsedstvo obvesti obsojeno osebo, tožilca, tajnika in Slovenijo o svoji odločitvi in razlogih zanjo.
4. Poleg tega Sodišče čim prej po uradnem obvestilu, poslanem Sloveniji, da nadaljnje izvrševanje kazni ni več mogoče, ker pogoji za sprejem niso več izpolnjeni, ustrezno poskrbi za hitro premestitev obsojene osebe. V tem primeru Slovenija in Sodišče sodelujeta pri zagotavljanju neprekinjenega izvrševanja kazni v vmesnem obdobju pred tako premestitvijo.
10. člen
Premestitev obsojene osebe po prestani kazni
1. Slovenija uradno obvesti predsedstvo:
(a) 90 koledarskih dni pred predvidenim koncem prestajanja kazni, da se bo prestajanje kazni zaključilo;
(b) 30 koledarskih dni pred predvidenim koncem prestajanja kazni o ustreznih informacijah glede namere Slovenije, da dovoli osebi ostati na svojem ozemlju, ali o lokaciji, na katero namerava premestiti osebo.
2. Po prestani kazni je lahko obsojena oseba, ki nima slovenskega državljanstva, v skladu z zakonodajo Slovenije premeščena v državo, ki jo mora sprejeti, ali v drugo državo, ki s tem soglaša, pri tem pa je treba upoštevati želje osebe, ki naj bo premeščena v to državo, razen če Slovenija tej osebi dovoli, da ostane na njenem ozemlju.
3. Ob upoštevanju določb 6. člena lahko Slovenija v skladu z notranjim pravom tudi izroči ali drugače preda osebo državi, ki je zahtevala izročitev ali predajo te osebe za namen sojenja ali izvršitve kazni.
11. člen
1. Običajne stroške izvrševanja kazni na ozemlju Slovenije krije Slovenija.
2. Druge stroške, vključno s stroški prevoza obsojene osebe na sedež sodišča in z njega ter v Slovenijo in iz nje, krije Sodišče.
3. V primeru pobega stroške, povezane s predajo obsojene osebe, krije Sodišče, če nobena država zanje ne prevzame odgovornosti.
12. člen
1. Organ za komuniciranje Slovenije je Ministrstvo za pravosodje Republike Slovenije.
2. Organ za komuniciranje Sodišča je Pravna in izvršilna enota predsedstva.
13. člen
Ta sporazum začne veljati prvi dan meseca po tem, ko Sodišče prejme uradno obvestilo Slovenije, da so izpolnjene vse notranje pravne zahteve za začetek njegove veljavnosti.
14. člen
Spremembe, odpoved in reševanje sporov
1. Ta sporazum se lahko po posvetovanju spremeni s pisnim soglasjem obeh pogodbenic. Dogovorjene spremembe začnejo veljati v skladu s postopkom iz 13. člena.
2. Katera koli pogodbenica lahko po posvetovanju odpove ta sporazum z dvomesečnim predhodnim pisnim obvestilom. Taka odpoved ne vpliva na veljavne kazni zapora v času odpovedi in določbe tega sporazuma se še naprej uporabljajo, dokler se take kazni ne iztečejo ali njihovo izvrševanje ne preneha ali obsojena oseba, če je primerno, ni premeščena v skladu z 10. členom tega sporazuma.
3. Vsak spor glede razlage ali uporabe tega sporazuma se rešuje s posvetovanji med Sodiščem in Slovenijo.
V potrditev tega sta podpisana, ki sta bila za to pravilno pooblaščena, podpisala ta sporazum.
