Congresswoman Wagner: Dodik must be stopped

(Patria) - Republican Congresswoman Ann Wagner of the U.S. Congress spoke out on platform X with harsh words about the situation in BiH following the illegal actions of RS President Milorad Dodik.

"Milorad Dodik is a brutal criminal who has led a campaign to destabilize Bosnia and Herzegovina. His reckless actions are a dangerous escalation and flagrant dismissal of the judicial process. This must not stand, and Dodik must be stopped before he advances his corrupt agenda.

I am in contact with the U.S. State Department and my colleagues in Congress to discuss how our administration could oppose Dodik's shameless attempt to disrupt peace in the region," Wagner wrote.

Recall, Congresswoman Wagner, who represents a district in the state of Missouri where tens of thousands of people of BiH origin live, previously proposed a bill titled "Maintaining the Dayton Peace Agreement through Sanctions," which was adopted in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Last June, Wagner told Voice of America that it is the duty of the United States to help maintain the validity of the Dayton Agreement.

- It is our duty now to stand up for the Bosnian people and not allow authoritarian representatives and dictators like Dodik and others to destroy the achieved peace and prosperity. Therefore, I was satisfied with the sanctions imposed against Dodik and many others who persistently try to disrupt this area - Wagner said then.
