Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has announced he will be representing Milorad Dodik, a Serbian politician from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dodik, often referred to as the "Bosnian Bear," is known for his strong nationalist views and close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Blagojevich's new role involves advocating for Dodik's interests on the international stage. While the specific details of the arrangement remain undisclosed, it marks a significant shift for the former governor, who was previously convicted on corruption charges.
The connection between Dodik and Putin has been a source of concern for Western governments. Dodik has repeatedly expressed support for Russia's policies and has resisted efforts to align Bosnia and Herzegovina more closely with the European Union. Blagojevich's involvement adds another layer of complexity to the already delicate geopolitical landscape in the Balkans. The move is likely to draw scrutiny from both domestic and international observers.
