Trump-linked investors target $1.8bn Bosnia bet
A group of investors with Trump administration connections wants to pour $1.8bn into Bosnian infrastructure and energy projects, betting on Balkan stability and EU accession prospects. The investment size dwarfs Bosnia's annual GDP growth and suggests these investors see geopolitical value beyond pure returns. The timing aligns with renewed US interest in countering Chinese and Russian influence in Southeast Europe through private capital deployment. Success depends on navigating Bosnia's complex ethnic politics and regulatory framework, neither of which have historically welcomed large foreign investments.
