The United States on Wednesday sanctioned three Bosnians, including the former chief of Bosnia and Herzegovina's spy agency, for allegedly undermining democratic institutions and endangering peace and stability in the Western Balkans.
The men "constitute a threat to regional stability, institutional trust, and the aspirations of those seeking democratic governance," Under Secretary of the Treasury Brian Nelson said in a statement.
The statement said that Osman Mehmedagic, the former head of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Intelligence Security Agency, misused the state-owned telecommunications company to benefit the Party of Democratic Action.
