On January 20, 2025, America officially welcomed its newly re-elected president. However, according to digital sources and the US Embassy in Sarajevo, this event—at least on the embassy’s social media—never happened.
The US Embassy in Sarajevo has not published a single word about Trump’s victory on either Twitter or Instagram. No congratulatory message, no acknowledgment. Every other US embassy worldwide has done so. The entire planet recognized the event—except for one place: Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically Sarajevo.
And that, indeed, is newsworthy for the BiH public—at least for the Serbian and Croatian public. Of course, not for the part of the public that sees Hamas as “cool,” Šerif Patković as a hero, Alija Izetbegović as a legend, Bin Laden as a lost icon, and Tehran as a role model. For them, this is all irrelevant.
As some would say: it’s just a coincidence. But on the Balkans, we know that coincidences do not exist—especially not in diplomacy.
Trump’s administration has taken over in Washington, but not in its own embassy in Sarajevo.
A SOFT COUP IN SARAJEVO?
If the US Embassy in Sarajevo is officially ignoring the inauguration of President Donald Trump, then Trump and Musk have a serious problem with it—not just a diplomatic one, but an intelligence issue as well.
Because an embassy is not a private club. It is an extension of the White House. If it is sending messages that are not aligned with the policies of the sitting president or if it is only releasing content that the Muslim world finds digestible, then the real question is: Who is actually making decisions there?
For instance, the embassy’s Twitter and Instagram pages contain nothing about Trump’s plan to resolve the Ukraine crisis. Nothing about Palestine. Only NATO-related content and the hope that this is all just a bad dream.
Are we dealing with rogue bureaucrats who are simply delaying the inevitable—aware that their days in office are numbered? Or are there deeper structures at play, ones that see Trump’s return to power as a direct threat to their interests?
Things become even more intriguing when considering that Todd Anderson, a key US embassy figure in Sarajevo, was recorded drinking coffee for years with an Iranian agent—or at least, a verified former operative from the Iranian embassy, Emir Suljagić.
Insiders claim that Suljagić personally influenced a number of US Embassy decisions. That the embassy was a tool for his personal vendettas, enacting sanctions, suppressing certain narratives, and even pressuring the BiH Prosecutor’s Office to cover up Suljagić’s domestic violence case—as well as his 2012 incident where he allegedly mailed himself a bullet as a false flag stunt.
Would anyone care to explain why high-ranking American diplomats in BiH were maintaining close ties with individuals connected to Tehran’s regime?
HOW TO BLOCK A PRESIDENT? JUST SHUT DOWN TWITTER!
Again, the US Embassy in Sarajevo has not acknowledged Trump’s victory or inauguration on Twitter or Instagram. Nothing. As if all the embassy’s social media administrators came down with the flu and slept through the most important political event of the year.
Or, more realistically, as if they were all foreign agents, not employees of the United States.
This presents two major problems:
- It is a deliberate and politically motivated act of ignoring the newly elected US administration.
- The Bosnian public, particularly the Bosniak political elite, relies almost exclusively on embassy channels for information about US foreign policy, believing that everything posted is the official voice of Washington.
If Trump’s administration cannot even break through its own embassy in Sarajevo, then that is not an embassy—it is an isolated outpost of the old regime.
HOW TO BREAK THE BLOCKADE AND INFORM THE BIH PUBLIC?
If anyone thinks Trump’s team will simply accept this blockade, they are mistaken. Here’s how the information embargo could be broken:
- Direct information campaign – Conservative media in BiH should highlight that the US Embassy refuses to acknowledge its own president and demand an explanation for why the Trump administration is unwelcome in its own diplomatic mission.
- Social media warfare – The embassy is playing the “if we stay silent, the problem doesn’t exist” strategy. Time for BiH citizens to start asking questions directly on their social media platforms.
- Pressure through BiH institutions – Why not demand an official response from the embassy? If BiH is a US ally, why is the embassy ignoring democratic processes in America?
- Exposing the Iranian connection – If US diplomats in BiH had dealings with Iranian operatives, why is this being covered up? Maybe the issue isn’t just a Trump boycott—maybe there are parallel geopolitical games being played.
A WAITING GAME: WHEN WILL THE PURGE REACH SARAJEVO?
All signs point to one thing: Trump’s State Department is preparing a diplomatic purge. The US Embassy in Sarajevo can continue playing its game of silence and denial, but time is not on their side.
Once Trump’s team cleans house internally, it’s only a matter of time before someone arrives in Sarajevo and asks:
“Gentlemen, why are you working against your own country?”
Or perhaps we’ll witness something even more intriguing—after so many US-led interventions in other countries, Trump might be the first president forced to launch an intervention in his own embassy. A complete purge.
Because when something metastasizes, only total excision can save the body.
