Non Grata from the US, Dodik resigns from his post, hopes for the lifting of
Milorad Dodik

Milorad Dodik, sanctioned non grata by the US and the UK, has agreed to step down from his post and as a first step the US lifted sanctions against some of his associates.

The US Treasury Department announced on Friday that it had removed four of Dodik's allies from a sanctions list, a move that was welcomed by Dodik, who is lobbying to have US sanctions against him lifted. Dodik's removal is being seen as a step that could lead to the lifting of sanctions against him.

The parliament of Republika Srpska appointed Ana Trišić Babić as interim president on Saturday, officially acknowledging for the first time that former President Milorad Dodik is stepping down from office following a state court injunction barring him from participating in politics.

Trišić Babić, a close ally of Dodik, will hold office for one month, until new presidential elections are held on November 23 in Republika Srpska.

Parliament also repealed a series of separatist laws that had been passed over the past year, after Dodik was indicted for violating decisions of the international representative and the Constitutional Court.

Dodik, a pro-Russian nationalist who wants Republika Srpska to secede and join Serbia, had so far refused to step down and continued to carry out duties and travel abroad in his capacity as president.

He is appealing the state court's decision to the Bosnian Constitutional Court.

Dodik stated that despite the parliamentary vote, Republika Srpska will not change its policies, and that separation remains its ultimate goal. He said he was obliged to take this step in coordination with international partners.

The US State Department welcomed Saturday's decision, saying it was the result of US-led efforts to defuse the crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“The United States welcomes today’s action by the National Assembly of Republika Srpska affirming stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This action will also mark a path for a constructive partnership with the United States, based on shared interests, economic potential, and shared prosperity,” Brendan Hanrahan, the State Department’s senior official for European and Eurasian Affairs, said in a statement to Reuters.

Dodik has been sanctioned by the US and Britain for obstructing the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended the war in Bosnia in the 1990s, as well as by several European countries that accuse him of endangering peace and stability in Bosnia with his separatist policies.
