“The latest American sanctions are a series of lies and packaged propaganda messages,” said the President of the Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik.
He pointed out that the American Embassy is doing everything to undermine a significant part of the Republika Srpska economy.
The American Embassy in Sarajevo announced on Wednesday the new sanctions imposed on companies and persons connected to the family of Milorad Dodik.
“Today, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Ministry of Finance (OFAC) designated seven entities (Infinity International Group, Prointer, Kaldera, Infinity Media, K-2 Audio Services, Una World Network and Sirius 2010) and two individuals (Đorđe Đurić and Milenko Čičić ) which provide the main sources of income for the corrupt patronage network of the President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik”, they stated.
The American Embassy points out that Milorad Dodik abused his official position in order to acquire personal wealth through companies associated with him and his son Igor Dodik.
“While Milorad Dodik and his family are trying to destabilize the region and threaten the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Euro-Atlantic institutions, the United States of America will continue to use sanctions as a tool against corruption and holding individuals accountable for their actions. Persons or entities that participate in activities with individuals and entities that are sanctioned today risk sanctions.”, Klix.ba writes.
