A pipeline contract and the lifting of sanctions against Dodik - Democrats

Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee are preparing for stronger oversight of President Donald Trump's administration's policy in the Balkans, if the party wins the majority.

According to "Semafor", Democrats on the Subcommittee on Europe will publish a report on Tuesday that raises a number of questions about the administration's policy in the region.

Democratic Congressman Bill Keating's report includes a previously unreported letter raising concerns about how the administration encouraged officials in Bosnia and Herzegovina to award a key pipeline contract to a company owned by Joseph Flynn, the brother of former Trump adviser Mike Flynn.

The document also contains the administration's response to this letter and another communication opposing the decision to lift sanctions on Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik.

Keating, the top Democrat on the subcommittee on Europe, has been supported by all other Democrats on the panel, as well as by the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee.

The report specifically raises questions about Joseph Flynn and Jesse Binnall's efforts to build the Southern Bosnia Interconnection Pipeline, a project worth an estimated $1.16 billion.

According to the report, they targeted the project “despite having no prior experience in the energy sector or in the region.” The document alleges that the pair sought to profit from Bosnia’s energy sector “at the expense of the Bosnian people.”

“I am concerned that the potential award of this contract to an inexperienced company reduces the likelihood that the pipeline will be put into operation,” Keating wrote to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in April.

"Furthermore, the personal and political ties between AAFS and the Trump administration represent an unfair conflict of interest," he added.

A State Department official responded that the decisions on the concession and the selection of an American company as the lead investor were “sovereign choices of officials of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

Binnall, on the other hand, stated that the company's involvement began after "Bosnian government officials approached AAFS directly," calling the pipeline a critical infrastructure for the energy future of the region and the United States.
