This Agreement shall remain in force for a period of one year, after which it shall be automatically extended for consecutive periods of one year, unless the adequate and necessary funding for the costs, referred to in Article 47 of this Agreement, has not been procured. In such a case the Host State may notify the Republic of Kosovo, in writing, with a three (3) months' notice before the end of the initial period of one year or a consecutive period of one year, that it does not wish to extend the Agreement.

This Agreement shall cease to be in force if the seat of the Kosovo Relocated Specialist Judicial Institution is removed from the territory of the Host State or if the Kosovo Relocated Specialist Judicial Institution is dissolved pursuant to a notification of completion by the Council of the European Union to the Republic of Kosovo, except for such provisions as may be applicable in connection with the orderly termination of the operations of the Kosovo Relocated Specialist Judicial Institution at its seat in the Host State and the disposition of its property therein, as well as provisions granting immunity from legal process of every kind in respect of words spoken or written or acts done in an official capacity.

The provisions relating to the inviolability of the funds, assets, archives and documents of the Kosovo Relocated Specialist Judicial Institution shall survive termination of this Agreement.

The Host State shall be notified in a timely manner with respect to the dissolution of the Kosovo Relocated Specialist Judicial Institution.
