Executive Order 13192: Lifting and Modifying Measures With Respect to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro)
President: Bill Clinton
Lifted broad sanctions on the new Yugoslav government while retaining restrictions on Milošević and associated persons.
Status: Revoked — by EO 13304 on May 28, 2003.
Is Executive Order 13192 still in effect? No. EO 13304 revoked it in 2003.
What does Executive Order 13192 do?
EO 13192 responded to democratic transition in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia by unblocking government and central-bank property and relaxing broad prohibitions, while preserving sanctions on Slobodan Milošević, close associates and persons linked to repression or corruption. EO 13304 terminated the underlying 1992 and 1998 national emergencies and expressly revoked EO 13192 in May 2003, while maintaining a different Western Balkans sanctions framework under EO 13219.
Later evidence reviewed September 23, 2026: EO 13304 revoked EO 13192 and related older orders. GovInfo — EO 13304. This later record documents the stated step; it does not by itself establish every downstream agency action or legal outcome.
Before and after
Before the order
Government and central-bank property remained blocked under Milošević-era emergency orders.
After the order
Broad state restrictions were lifted, targeted measures continued, and the whole older framework was terminated in 2003.

Legal and source detail
How it works legally
Savings clauses preserved pending actions, matured rights and penalties. Current Western Balkans sanctions must be assessed under later orders, statutes and Treasury regulations rather than EO 13192.
