HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...Designating Milorad Dodik’s Patronage Network in the Western Balkans

# 									Designating Milorad Dodik’s Patronage Network in the Western Balkans							

Press Statement

Matthew Miller, Department Spokesperson

October 20, 2023

Today, the United States is imposing sanctions on individuals and entities comprising part of the patronage network of Republika Srpska (RS) President Milorad Dodik. The Department of the Treasury has taken action against two individuals and four entities, including Dodik’s two adult children, Igor and Gorica Dodik. This network facilitates Dodik’s leading role in undermining the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement and the authority of the High Representative, as well as perpetuating deeply entrenched corruption in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). This network also reinforces the country’s patronage-based economy, thereby inhibiting critically important economic growth and opportunity for BiH citizens.

U.S.-designated Dodik – a leading voice of genocide denial and driver of the deepening divisions and political impasse in the country – has misused his official government position to accumulate personal wealth through graft, bribery, and other forms of corruption.

Most recently, Dodik pushed for the passage of a June 2023 RS National Assembly law that purports to declare the decisions of the BiH Constitutional Court and those of the High Representative inapplicable in the RS, thus obstructing implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement. Dodik signed the law into effect in July, despite the High Representative’s action to annul the law, which led the Court of BiH to indict Dodik for ignoring these decisions.

Today’s designations aim to disrupt elements of the financial network that personally enriches and enables Dodik at the expense of the territorial integrity and functional governance of BiH, along with the general economic wellbeing of the RS.

These actions build on prior U.S. sanctions and visa restrictions to promote accountability for persons who engage in corruption and undermine democratic processes or institutions in the region. They are part of the U.S. government’s wider efforts to promote peace, stability, and functional democratic governance in the Western Balkans.

*The Department of the Treasury’s actions are being taken pursuant to Western Balkans-related E.O. 14033. For more information on these designations, see Treasury’s press release.*

(i) the six-month anniversary of Stecko’s Employment Termination Date, (ii)
Stecko’s death, or (iii) a designated date in 2009 Stecko may designate no later
than December 31, 2008 pursuant to such rules as the Company may establish. If

     5. In all other respects, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

#### BUILDERS SPECIALTIES SUPPLY and the Maryland Casualty Company, Appellants, v. John R. COLE, Appellee.

No. AB-436.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Feb. 11, 1982.

Bernard J. Zimmerman of Akerman, Sen-terfitt & Eidson, Orlando, for appellants.

James A. Hightower of Levin, Warfield, Middlebrooks, Mabie & Magie, Pensacola, for appellee.

THOMPSON, Judge.

The appellants challenge a workers’ compensation Order, contending in part that the Deputy Commissioner (“the Deputy”) erred by awarding the appellee (“the claimant”) wage loss benefits prior to the stipulated date of maximum medical improvement (“MMI”). We agree the Deputy erred in this respect.

The claimant was involved in a compen-sable accident on November 2, 1979. In a pre-trial stipulation, the parties agreed that the claimant reached MMI on May 13, 1980. The Deputy awarded the claimant wage loss benefits from April 28, 1980 (the first date for which wage loss benefits were claimed) until December 27, 1980. The award of wage loss benefits for a period prior to MMI is clearly erroneous, as Section 440.15(3)(b)(l), Florida Statutes, authorizes payment of wage loss benefits only after a claimant reaches MMI.

We note, with disapproval, the de minim-is nature of this error which could have been corrected by the Deputy if proper and timely application had been made by the appellants. *See Genuine Parts Company v. Morris,*409 So.2d 156 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982); *Acosta Roofing Company v. Gillyard,*402 So.2d 1321 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981).

The appellants also challenged the Deputy’s determination that the claimant conducted an adequate work search. We affirm on this point as there is competent substantial evidence to support this determination.

Accordingly, we amend the Order in this cause to commence wage loss benefits on May 14, 1980. As amended, the Order is AFFIRMED.

MILLS and WENTWORTH, JJ., concur.

# 									DSS hosts African American Art Exhibit to commemorate National Black History Month							

DSS Articles

By Barbara Gleason  DSS Public Affairs

February 13, 2023

Artist Roberto Lugo, whose works can be found in the Smithsonian, the Met in New York City, and the High Museum,may not be a household name yet, but his paintings and ceramics were front and center in Supervisory Special Agent (ret.) John Martinec’s art collection, which was displayed at the U.S. Department of State’s Harry S Truman Building in Washington, D.C., Feb. 13, 2023.  Lugo’s works were only part of Martinec’s collection on display for State Department personnel to view during the event, which was sponsored by the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) DEIA Council to commemorate Black History Month.

I don’t collect art—I collect artists, and the stories they have to tell,” said Martinec who provided a brief overview of the 52 works on display, which included art by Benny Andrews, Kadir Nelson, Morrie Turner, and Nate Lewis, just to name a few. “It’s important to remember that African American art is American art—and the work of Black artists should be celebrated for their significant contribution to American art history.” 

Martinec explained that the tea-time ceramic works by Lugo were displayed on clay water vessels brought back from Burundi, Sudan, and Darfur, linking the universal notion of hospitality. Just as these large clay vessels are left along the road to hold refreshing water for parched passersby to stop, have a drink, and a chat, so too do the ceramic teapots, cups, and plates featuring African American leaders and icons such as Benjamin Banneker, Dr. Lilie Mae Carroll Jackson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Erykah Badu, and DMX, provide refreshment and an opportunity to be social.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield dropped by the exhibition and was given a personal tour by Martinec.  

DSS leadership was fully represented at the exhibition with Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security Gentry Smith, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Carlos Matus, and Deputy Assistant Secretary Cornell Chasten in attendance.   

This was not the first exhibit that Martinec hosted for DSS. He arranged a similar exhibit at DSS headquarters during Black History Month in 2020.  

“Today, just as in 2020, John provided us with a unique experience in sharing his formidable collection—and I was fortunate to have been able to attend both,” said Assistant Secretary Smith. “This exhibit is only one example of the important contributions made by African Americans throughout our nation’s history and helps to remind us of the important role that diversity and inclusion plays in our daily lives.”
