The bill would require the President to identify foreign people or groups believed to threaten Bosnia and Herzegovina’s peace, security, territorial integrity, or democratic institutions, or to undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement. The President would have to submit a list to Congress every 180 days and impose sanctions on those listed. Sanctions could block property under U.S. control and bar people from entering the United States. The bill would also allow limits on certain U.S. accounts held by foreign banks that facilitate significant transactions for listed people. It preserves certain existing Western Balkans sanctions. Humanitarian aid and imports of goods are excepted. The bill’s authorities would end seven years after enactment.
The bill focuses on foreign people and groups, but its property and financial rules could affect transactions involving U.S. people or institutions. People placed on the list could lose access to property under U.S. control and be barred from U.S. entry. The bill includes exceptions for humanitarian assistance and related transactions.
