Jason Osborne

The government of Bosnia's mainly Serbian entity, Republika Srpska, has signed a contract with Texas-based law firm McGinnis Lochridge to represent the RS and "provide general advice and representation regarding international legal and policy matters as requested by the Government from time to time".

Former Trump campaign associate Landon Tucker Davis attended an election campaign rally held by the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, SNSD, the leading political party in Bosnia's Serb-dominated entity Republika Srpska, on Monday evening in the Bosnian town of Derventa.

The US embassy in Bosnia told BIRN on Monday that American sanctions on Milorad Dodik could not be removed easily, despite local media reports that the US would soon lift a travel and property embargo against the Bosnian Serb leader.

Beta agency is reporting, citing an article published on the Newsweek website, that Jason Osborne and Mike Rubino, "close friends and business associates of former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski," have been hired by Dodik.

This is according to documents filed with the US Justice Department.

A brief visit to Serbia by Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, has sparked accusations - which he has dismissed - that he came to Belgrade to seal a lobbying deal with Aleksandar Vucic's government.

The American visited Serbia on April 23 when he held a lecture at an "America Today" event organized by the East West Bridge, an NGO.
