Political advisors Chris LaCivita and James Blair, closely linked to Donald Trump, have sparked a political controversy following reports that they were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to consult for the authorities in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The engagement occurred ahead of local elections and reportedly focused on election integrity and the use of new voting equipment.

Reports indicate that the lobbying firm Continental Strategy was contracted by the Republika Srpska government for a monthly fee of $35,000 to facilitate meetings and build relationships. The news has caused friction within the Republican Party, as the advisors were traveling in the Balkans during a critical period for US midterm elections. Donald Trump has since distanced himself from the advisors, stating he was unaware of their travel and promising to investigate potential conflicts of interest.

In Republika Srpska, officials including Željka Cvijanović have denied allegations of improper foreign influence, claiming the entity respects the policies of the current US administration. Meanwhile, the situation has drawn criticism from US lawmakers and analysts who express concern over the potential for hybrid influence operations in the Western Balkans.
