OFAC Sanctions 3 People in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Office of Foreign Assets Control this week sanctioned three people in Bosnia and Herzegovina for “undermining stability and perpetuating corruption.” The designations target Osman Mehmedagic, director general of the country’s Intelligence Security Agency; Dragan Stankovic, director of the Republika Srpska Administration for Geodetic and Property Affairs; and Edin Gacanin, “one of the world’s most prolific drug traffickers.” The three “constitute a threat to regional stability, institutional trust, and the aspirations of those seeking democratic governance in the Western Balkans,” Brian Nelson, Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said March 15.
