It is not the first time the Presidium has addressed this issue (see, for example: Ruling No. 3056/07, dated July 17, 2007, No. 402/09, dated July 14, 2009, No. 13331/09 dated January 19, 2010), however, we would not say that the institution of preliminary agreements frequently becomes an object of attention of a supreme court jurisdiction. </p>
