The daughter of the Bosnian Serb leader, Milorad Dodik , who has been blacklisted by the United States of America, has reacted to the US sanctions.
Through a post on the X platform, Gorica Dodik ironically thanked the American embassy, as they went, that for her there is no greater privilege than being on the blacklist.
"Thank you very much, there is no greater privilege in this day and time than being on your blacklist, it is proof that we are not aggressors and criminals like you. Your hands are alive up to the elbows, anyone who supports you is an accomplice in your heinous crimes around the world.
The truth is that you lead corruption all over the world through dirty companies and you call those who disobey you criminals. Say hello to your pedophile president, his drug addict son and his many relatives" , Gorica Dodik said.
The US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control has today sanctioned two individuals and four entities (companies) that constitute a substantial part of the patronage of Republika Srpska (RS) President Milorad Dodik.
Members of this network, which include Dodik's grown children, facilitate Dodik's ongoing corruption in the RS entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), allowing him to take public funds from the RS and enrich himself and his family in at the expense of the citizens of BiH and the functional governance in the country.
The pro-Russian leader of Republika Srpska previously served as a member of the BiH presidency and is widely known for calling for and outspoken support for the unilateral transfer of state powers from the BiH government to the RS, one of the two entities that make up BiH.
Milorad Dodik used his official position in BiH and a network of connections and personal companies to amass personal wealth through bribery and other forms of corruption. His divisive ethno-nationalist rhetoric reflects his efforts to advance these political goals and divert attention from his corrupt activities. Additionally, Dodik has publicly denigrated other ethnic and religious groups within BiH, further sowing division and political gridlock./ Home.treasury.gov
