The assassination of Slovak Prime Minister Fizo has caused great repercussions in the world. According to RIA Novosti, Slovakia revealed that Fizo underwent another operation on May 17 and his injuries are still serious, but his condition is stable.
The 71-year-old who fired several shots at Fizzo has been captured in Slovakia, and what awaits the gunman is likely to be up to 25 years in prison, or even life imprisonment.
One of the most important questions that Slovakia wants to know about must include "who is behind this". Slovakia believes that preliminary information indicates that Fizo's assassination was politically motivated. But so far, Slovakia has not yet determined "who is the mastermind".
The United States, Russia, France, Germany, Hungary, Serbia, and many other countries have condemned the incident. This incident also sounded the alarm bell for Europe, and in the future, Vučić, Orban and Erdogan will have to be more cautious.
There are at least 3 things worth noting.
First things first, Serbia is really too difficult. According to RIA Novosti on May 16, a man who threatened Vučić has been detained by Serbian police. Vučić revealed that he often receives threats and insults against himself and his family.
How hard is Serbia left and right? Just a few examples. A few days ago, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba went on a trip to Serbia, and Vučić personally met with Kuleba. Vučić also announced that the Serbian ambassador would return to Ukraine.
The Associated Press believes that Serbia maintains friendly exchanges with Russia, and Kuleba's trip to Serbia at this time is indeed very unexpected, which is a sign of warming relations between the two countries.
Serbia has been refraining from joining the camp of sanctions against Russia, and the United States and its allies have put pressure on Serbia for this reason. Vučić, who is torn between Russia and Ukraine, sometimes has a hard time making a choice. In addition, Serbia, which is reluctant to join NATO, actually intends to join the European Union. Not long ago, Serbia bought 12 French fighter jets, which is tantamount to a big gift to the European Union.
According to past examples, Serbia would normally buy Russian fighters, but this time, Serbia made a surprising decision, which was somewhat of a vote to France.
Vučić's foreign strategy is very pragmatic and in line with Serbia's interests, but Vučić himself has not been under pressure from various forces.
The second thing, Orban should also be careful. In many places, there are similarities between Fizo and Orban, the difference being that Orban gets along well with the far-right forces in the United States. In addition, Hungary, dominated by Orban, sometimes falls to the side of the United States.
A typical example of this is the special session of the General Assembly held a few days ago, in which Hungary voted against the admission of Palestine as a new Member of the United Nations. In other words, among the 9 votes against, there are the United States, Israel, and Hungary.
In addition, anti-Ukrainian sentiment among the Hungarian civil society should not be underestimated. In this case, Orban is in a much better situation than Fizo. But at a time when the international situation is constantly changing, it is always right for Orbán to keep an eye on it.
The third thing is that Turkey has bitterness that cannot be said. Israel announced on May 16 that it would scrap its free trade agreement with Turkey and double tariffs on Turkish exports to Israel.
The reason why Israel wants to sanction Turkey is because Turkey has previously imposed large-scale sanctions on Israel. Turkey decided half a month ago to suspend all trade with Israel. Turkey considers Israel's military operation in Gaza unacceptable.
Erdogan believes that after defeating Hamas, Israel will target Turkey, and Israel will target Turkish territory.
During this time, there were many conflicts between Turkey and Israel. Before this, Turkey did not give the White House any less power, and it is not surprising that it cannot get along with Russia. Turkey's tightrope foreign strategy is likely to bring danger to Erdogan.
Erdogan's ally, Bahcheli, believes that there is a risk of an earthquake in Turkish politics. Subsequently, Erdogan held a meeting with the Turkish Ministry of Justice and the leaders of the intelligence agencies. This means that Erdogan also faces many challenges.
For the United States, Erdogan, who does not give face to the United States, is undoubtedly a thorn in the coffin. If a more obedient person who thinks about the interests of the United States can be put in charge of Turkey, the White House will certainly be happy to see that happen.
Fizo, who was injured in this assassination, is both anti-American and pro-Russian. Fizo does not support the supply of weapons to Ukraine, nor does he oppose Ukraine's accession to NATO, and is not yet willing to sanction Russia.
It is not difficult for discerning people to see that at the moment when the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is unresolved, Fizo's foreign strategy is not in the interests of NATO.
Of course, as of now, there is still no definite answer to "who was behind the assassination of Fizo". All speculation is also just speculation, and it is not easy to draw conclusions until Slovakia gives its conclusions.
But in any case, Vučić, Orban and Erdogan will have to be more careful in the future.
