Serbian Deputy PM Vulin: assassination plot is being prepared against PM Orbán

The Serbian and Russian media wrote about Serbian interior minister and deputy prime minister Aleksandar Vulin’s claims about an assassination plot against PM Viktor Orbán. Vulin said the reason why a criminal group planned to kill the Hungarian prime minister was Orbán’s pro-peace stance. Meanwhile, Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, has not heard about any assassination attempts.

According to Blikk, a Hungarian tabloid, Vulin talked about previous assassination attempts against Slovak PM Robert Fico and US presidential candidate Donald Trump. He also mentioned the murder of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on 19 May.
