AAFS INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENERGY COMPANY DENIES THAT MILORAD DODIK AND GENERAL MICHAEL FLYNN ARE INVOLVED IN ITS BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

SARAJEVO, MAY 17 /SRNA/ - The CEO of the U.S. company AAFS Infrastructure and Energy, Joseph J. Flynn, denied that his brother, General Michael Flynn, and Milorad Dodik are involved in the company’s business projects in BiH, or that there is any connection to their political statements.

In a letter addressed to the Prime Minister of the Federation of BiH, Nermin Nikšić, AAFS stated that it is not involved in political activities in the country, does not participate in political processes, and does not support or represent any political party, political leader, or political agenda in the country. The letter emphasized that recent media reports and speculation attempting to link the company, its representatives, or its business activities in BiH with political figures, including Milorad Dodik or retired U.S. Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, are completely false, misleading, and without any factual basis. “My brother, retired Lieutenant General Flynn, as well as Mr. Dodik, are in no way involved in the business projects that AAFS is carrying out in BiH, nor is our company connected to the political statements made by General Flynn or Mr. Dodik,” the letter said. AAFS, Mr. Flynn emphasized, is a private investment and infrastructure company focused exclusively on long-term economic projects and strategic American investments in BiH. Its mission, he explained, is focused on energy security, infrastructure modernization, industrial development, job creation, and strengthening economic cooperation between the United States and BiH. “Attempts to politicize private investment initiatives or to link our company with domestic political narratives are irresponsible and pose a risk of deterring much-needed international investment in BiH,” the letter said. Their activities in BiH, as they explained, are exclusively business-oriented and focused on creating concrete economic value for citizens through investments, infrastructure development, diversification of energy sources, and growth of the private sector. They maintain communication with institutions strictly within the framework of legitimate investment procedures, regulatory requirements, and project development processes, which they describe as standard practice for any international investor operating in foreign markets. It was emphasized, among other things, that AAFS remains committed to transparent, lawful, and professional business operations in accordance with the legal standards of the United States, Europe, and BiH. “Our focus remains unchanged - supporting economic development, creating opportunities for citizens, and contributing to the long-term stability and prosperity of BiH through investment, not politics,” says the letter from the president and CEO of the American company AAFS, addressed to Nikšić. The Federal Government says that the American investment company “AAFS Infrastructure and Energy,” registered in Sarajevo and fully owned by the same American entity, is designated for the implementation of the Southern Interconnection gas pipeline project.
