The United States of America has imposed sanctions on two individuals and a network of companies that contributed to the illegal enrichment of Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik and his family.
The US Treasury Department said in a statement that Milorad Dodik used the post of the Bosnian presidency to give benefits and money to a network of seven private companies overseen by Milorad Dodik’s son and formally controlled by loyal individuals. of Milorad Dodik.
The pro-Russian president of the Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, who has long sought the secession of this entity from Bosnia, is now under American and British sanctions.
In October last year, the United States sanctioned his two grown children, son Igor Dodik and daughter Gorica Dodik, as well as their companies, saying they facilitated the Bosnian Serb leader’s ongoing corruption.
The US authorities state that they condemn Dodik’s ongoing efforts to erode the institutions that have guaranteed peace and stability in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the region.
