US Senator Shaheen calls for sanctions on Dodik to be reinstated

“The Trump Administration should be embarrassed by its decision to remove Republika Srpska leader Milorad Dodik from U.S. sanctions last October. Mr. Dodik has been using secessionist rhetoric and undermining the integrity of the Dayton Peace Agreement, which flies in the face of the Administration’s justification to delist Dodik and his cronies late last year", she said.

"Mr. Dodik’s visit to Washington has made it abundantly clear that he is not interested in putting the interests of all Bosnians ahead of his political interests. The Trump Administration should move swiftly to re-impose sanctions on Mr. Dodik under the mandatory sanctions that I secured in the most recent National Defense Authorization Act.”
