Montenegrin companies and individuals appear on U.S. OFAC sanctions list

OFAC sanctions Montenegro dual-use goods money laundering Russia sanctions

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) maintains several Montenegrin entities and individuals on its sanctions list. Among the sanctioned companies are Donata Company D.O.O., International Business Corporation Bar, and Hotel Casa Grande in Ulcinj. Donata Company and Hotel Casa Grande were sanctioned in 2015 for their links to Naser Kelmendi.

International Business Corporation, owned by Russian citizen Sergej Kokorev, was sanctioned on October 30, 2024, for allegedly supporting the Russian military-industrial base. Authorities claim Kokorev used the company to transship European-origin machine tools and ball bearings to Russian users, including AMS Tehnika.

Individual sanctions include Miodrag Daka Davidović, sanctioned in November 2023 for alleged money laundering and smuggling of oil, weapons, and cigarettes. Luka Karadžić is also listed due to his familial connection to Radovan Karadžić. Notably, the late Branislav Brano Mićunović remains on the official list despite his death in April 2024.

Separately, the U.S. State Department has issued entry bans for former Montenegrin officials Vesna Medenica and Milo Božović due to corruption allegations, though these do not constitute the same financial blockades as OFAC sanctions.
