Nikola Spiric has been blacklisted by the United States government for more than two years on suspicion of involvement in corruption.
Namely, in September 2018, the United States of America (USA) imposed sanctions on Spiric due to credible information that Spiric was “involved in public corruption”. He ended up on the U.S. blacklist for obstructing public processes related to the work of the OSA.
“U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and the U.S. Department of State have credible information that Mr. Nikola Spiric was involved in and benefited from public corruption, including the improper gain in public office and obstruction of public processes during his tenure as a member of the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina “, the Public Relations Office of the US Embassy said.
