After a difficult year, with extreme political and economic sanctions placed on his country by the Biden Administration, the President of the Republic of Srpska, Milorad Dodik, is hopeful of a change in U.S. policy in the Balkans following the inauguration of Donald Trump as President on January 20.

In an interview with the Voice of Srpska, Dodik stressed that the decisions of the current U.S. administration had affected companies, banks, and citizens. “We had to protect the economy and the people.” He noted that Europe does not allow an individual to make laws, no king, sovereign, can do that, but in Bosnia and Herzegovina an illegitimate man, Christian Schmidt, does it.

Following the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump, Dodik expects a better situation for Republika Srpska when it comes to the imposed U.S. sanctions and American policy generally.

“Of course I hope, because I know how the story with sanctions is. It’s all the fruit of the actions of the opposition and Michael Murphy…. However, I think that will change, Dodik said.

He pointed out that the Republic of Srpska also has friends in the United States. “We should not forget that we influenced the Serbs in the United States to vote for Trump. We did that in 2016. and 2024,” Dodik said. “We are interested in sanctions being removed.”

He stressed that the goal of the Republika Srpska is the neutral position of the United States. “They have been one-sided so far and have done everything to bring down the Dayton Peace Agreement. When we see that, we have no reason to defend it,” Dodik explained. “I expect the Americans to say that they will leave it to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina to decide the fate of the country, and we know what we will decide.”
