US Department of the Treasury

The US Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on three people in Bosnia for what it says is a threat to the rule of law, regional stability and the aspirations of those seeking functional democratic governance.

The Treasury Department said Osman Mehmedagiç, the former director general of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Security and Intelligence Agency, misused a government-owned telecommunications company for the benefit of the Democratic Action Party. There is also reliable information that Osman Mehmedagiç cooperated with criminal networks for personal and party benefits. This activity, it is stated in the announcement of the Department of the Treasury, reflects a pattern of behavior of Osman Mehmedagiç and the Party for Democratic Action, to use positions and authority for personal and party benefits.

The Treasury Department said that Dragan Stankovic, director of the Republika Srpska Administration for Legal Property Affairs, was responsible for a blatant attempt to seize Bosnia and Herzegovina property on the territory of Republika Srpska in violation of decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and a decision of of 2005 of the Office of the High Representative. Dragan Stanković's efforts to pass this unconstitutional legislation reflect the false claims made by Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik and other leaders of this entity on this issue.

The Treasury Department also sanctioned citizen Edin Gaçan, as one of the most notorious drug traffickers in the world. In addition to efforts to traffic narcotics across various countries, Edin Gaçanini's cartel is involved in money laundering and is linked to the Kinahan Organized Crime Group, which was previously sanctioned by the Treasury for its role as a significant criminal organization. international.

The United States has sanctioned dozens of people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the president of the Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, "for corrupt activities" and "continued threat to the stability and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina."

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the United States, as a guarantor of the Peace Agreement, "is committed to combating endemic corruption, threats to Bosnian state authority, and the spread of illegal drugs and organized crime, which threaten the Euro- Atlantic Ocean of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We remain steadfast in our support for the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the country's democratic institutions."

After the 1990s war, which left over 100,000 dead, Bosnia split into two autonomous entities, the Republika Srpska and the Federation dominated by Bosniaks and Croats, linked by a weak central government in Sarajevo.

Secretary Blinken said that the United States, in addition to supporting reforms, promotes accountability for the actions of those who undermine democratic institutions and advance their agenda for political and personal gains at the expense of peace and stability in the Western Balkans./VOA
