flag The U.S. lifted sanctions on Milorad Dodik, former leader of Bosnia’s Republika Srpska, and his allies, including family members and associates, in October 2025. flag The move, announced by the Treasury Department, removes penalties imposed over concerns about separatism, corruption, and threats to the Dayton Peace Accords. flag Dodik was barred from politics by a Bosnian court due to his actions, though he continued performing presidential duties until stepping down. flag The U.S. did not explain the decision, but officials cited improved diplomatic conditions and regional stability. flag Dodik credited former President Donald Trump and his allies for the reversal, calling it a correction of an injustice. flag The action marks a significant shift in U.S. policy toward a figure long seen as a destabilizing force in the Balkans.
