Gorica Dodik, daughter of the president of the Bosnian entity Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik, announced that she is closing the "Serbian House" foundation she founded, because the bank closed the foundation's account due to the American sanctions imposed on it, reports Radio Free Europe (RSE).
"Yesterday, the bank closed the foundation's account, which prevented further work," wrote Gorica Dodik on social network X.
Gorica Dodik previously told RSE that she has not opened any new accounts since she was on the American "black list". According to her, the only active account in the bank is the one she opened in 2016 and has been operating without problems since then.
"As for loans, I have had a loan for an apartment since 2016 and I have no problems. We have had no problems with our restaurant business, which was also sanctioned by America," she told RSE.
In October 2023, the United States of America (USA) imposed sanctions on Dodik's son and daughter, Igor and Gorica, and the companies they own or co-own are also under American sanctions.
Sanctions were previously imposed on Milorad Dodik as well as the entire current leadership of Republika Srpska.
The US has so far sanctioned a total of 28 individuals and 18 companies from Bosnia and Herzegovina for corruption, terrorism and violations of the Dayton Peace Agreement.
In total, more than 1.000 people from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region are on the American "black list".
