Bill > HR4149

This bill aims to impose targeted sanctions on foreign individuals and entities that undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement or threaten the stability and security of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The legislation establishes a comprehensive framework for identifying and penalizing persons who engage in activities that disrupt Bosnia and Herzegovina's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and democratic institutions. Key provisions include requiring the President to submit a list every 180 days of foreign persons who are responsible for actions that threaten peace and stability, such as creating illegal parallel institutions, obstructing democratic processes, or engaging in corruption. Sanctions can include blocking financial transactions, revoking visas, and preventing entry into the United States for listed individuals and their family members. The bill also codifies existing sanctions related to the Western Balkans, supports Bosnia and Herzegovina's progress towards Euro-Atlantic integration, and calls on the European Union to join the United States in sanctioning individuals like Milorad Dodik who undermine the country's stability. The sanctions have exceptions for humanitarian assistance, national security activities, and United Nations-related travel, and can be waived or terminated if the sanctioned individuals demonstrate significant behavioral changes. The act will remain in effect for seven years from its enactment.
