"I am pleased to host Professor Olga Ravasi in Banja Luka today, one of the significant figures in the Serbian community in America," wrote Dodik. After Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 elections, Ravasi was one of the names mentioned as a potential choice for ambassador of the United States to Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to information obtained by our portal, groups close to the Serbian community in the U.S. lobbied for Ravasi to become ambassador, but ultimately, nothing came of it. Instead of an ambassador, Bosnia and Herzegovina received a new charge d'affaires, John Ginkel, who is expected to serve as the de facto U.S. ambassador in our country. Her visit comes shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., arrived in Banja Luka, and before Dodik's private trip to America, specifically to Milwaukee.
