Excerpt: “On January 8, 2025, the President issued Executive Order (E.O.) 14140, an amendment to E.O. 14033, which expanded the United States government’s ability to curtail activity that undermines, or attempts to undermine, regional peace frameworks and the rule of law in the Western Balkans and efforts to circumvent U.S. sanctions. Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is designating five individuals and one entity that facilitate Republika Srpska (RS) President Milorad Dodik (Dodik) and his family’s efforts to enrich themselves at the public’s expense. Today’s action also targets eight individuals who, at Dodik’s direction, organized and executed the commemoration of ‘Republika Srpska Day’ (RS Day) in January 2024, in contravention to the principles of the Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA) and which the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Constitutional Court (CC) ruled unconstitutional.”
