Treasury sanctions network connected to separatist Bosnian leader
A network of people and firms that support the sanctioned president of Bosnia’s Serb-run part, Milorad Dodik, has been hit with new sanctions
WASHINGTON (AP) — A network of people and firms that support the sanctioned president of Bosnia’s Serb-run portion, Milorad Dodik, has been hit with a new round of sanctions.
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control on Tuesday designated two people and seven companies that provide revenue for Dodik and his family, including his son Igor Dodik.
Treasury says Dodik used his presidency to direct government contracts to a network of private companies that he and his son oversee.
Dodik was initially sanctioned by the U.S. in 2022 when the Biden administration accused him of “corrupt activities” that threatened to destabilize the region and undermine a U.S.-brokered peace accord from more than 25 years ago. A set of sanctions were imposed on a network of people connected to Dodik last October.
