Citat:Dodik allegedly hired a Canadian company owned by an Israeli ex-intelligence officer:

Ari Ben-Menashe, Israeli-Canadian 🇮🇱🇨🇦 businessman and former intelligence officer for Israel, president of Canadian 🇨🇦 lobbying firm Dickens & Madson. The company has been hired by Republika Srpska to lobby the US, EU, UN and Gulf states for political support.
Objectives include:
• Independence from Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Removal of High Representative Christian Schmidt
• Revocation of OFAC 🇺🇸 sanctions on Dodik-linked actors.
The $2M contract stipulates a 2 year consultancy, which covers the arrangement of high-level meetings with Saudi and UAE leadership, international PR, technical assistance and compliance with US FARA laws. No results are guaranteed.
Lobbying by foreign governments or entities is a regulated and common practice in the US and internationally. Examples include Hungary, Azerbaijan, Sudan and so-called Kosovo engaging firms to influence US policy.
Nonetheless, this case remains significant, as Republika Srpska is seeking political support to advance its goal of independence from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
