Recently, the politician has repeatedly questioned the existence of a unified Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The United States is once again considering adding the leader of the Bosnian Serbs, Milorad Dodik, to its "blacklist." This was reported by the American embassy in Sarajevo in response to a request from the Sarajevo portal Klix.ba.
The diplomatic mission emphasized that it is closely monitoring the actions of all political players in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the former president of the Republic of Srpska, Milorad Dodik.
"We reserve the right to impose sanctions against individuals when necessary, in accordance with laws and decrees, if they engage in actions that undermine stability and increase tension," U.S. representatives stated.
It is worth noting that Dodik was previously under U.S. sanctions due to "destabilizing activities." However, in October 2025, he was removed from the "blacklist." The embassy explained that this occurred after he resigned as president of the Republic of Srpska and allowed elections for a successor, thereby complying with a court ruling.
Nevertheless, recently Dodik has repeatedly questioned the existence of a unified Bosnia and Herzegovina and announced a possible separation of the Republic of Srpska from BiH.
Washington has indicated that the politician's actions could serve as grounds for the reinstatement of sanctions.
In addition, the American embassy reported that a new high representative of the international community in Bosnia and Herzegovina is expected to be elected in early June, who will replace Christian Schmidt.
