Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Thursday he received threats after the assassination attempt on his Slovakian counterpart, with a media outlet reporting his security protection would be strengthened, Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.

Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot five times at close range on Wednesday, spurring international condemnation and calls for a calming of political tensions.

"There was a lot of it yesterday," Tusk said in a post on the X social media platform illustrated with a screenshot of a comment, also on X, saying: "today, Slovaks gave us an example of what should be done with Donald Tusk" if he decided not to carry out investment in a big airport in central Poland.
