Summary
Dodik, president of the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina, saw his US sanctions removed in October 2025 following strengthened ties with Trump’s family and associates.
Previously ostracized by the EU and under US sanctions, Dodik’s relationship with Trump enabled his participation in high-profile events like the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington.
Dodik’s renewed international standing highlights shifting alliances in the Balkans, with his support for Trump distinguishing him among European leaders and potentially altering regional diplomatic dynamics.
