Chief lobbyist for how to prove that everything is possible if you want it Milord Dodik has confirmed a trip to the United States, where this week he will take part in a gathering of the MAGA movement at the Trump residence Mar-a-Lago, where members of Congress, donors and officials of the Republican apparatus gather after the midterm elections on November 3. According to him, the goal is to meet with members of Congress and senators and talk with people who make important decisions. The return to Banja Luka is scheduled for November 7 after a trip to Chicago. What sounded like science fiction only a year ago was documented: in October 2025, the Trump administration lifted the sanctions on Dodik that had been in effect under two consecutive presidents, and the Atlantic and the New York Times showed the mechanics of the process behind the scenes - a multimillion-dollar lobbying campaign by the government of Republika Srpska with Trump's people's representatives from the Trump Associates Group. And to be more specific? These included Rudolph W. Giuliani, a former New York City mayor who served as the president's personal attorney during his first term, and Michael T. Flynn, a retired lieutenant general who served briefly as national security adviser in the first Trump administration. Dudik himself has already stated that in talks with the new administration he asked for the removal of the high representative Christian Schmidt. For Dudik himself, the advantage is clear: the image from Mar-a-Lago turns at home into the thesis "we were recognized by the main power", and any mention of the powers of Schmidt and Bonn in this company offends the federal agenda from Sarajevo. For Trump, a symmetrical interest proves that his foreign policy machine is able to remove "bad" sanctions from useful dialogue structures faster than Brussels can formulate a position on Bosnia. In Sarajevo, the authorities can only wait to see what will be agreed at Mar-a-Lago. - Chronicle of the powder keg of Europe Support us.
