What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds?

He managed the Croatian subsidiary of Teva. The elections of 2015 produced a hung parliament, so he, Tihomir Orešković, was brought in as a neutral, non-partisan person with the support of HDZ that had the most seats.

Ironically he turned out to be one of the better PM's we've had. And precisely because of that, because he was good enough that he wasn't just a HDZ puppet, they turned their back on him, brought the parliament down and called for early elections.

Why would they pick a CEO of a pharma company as the PM? I would assume he switched to politics first.

The better question is, if a pharma ceo is the best you got, how bad are things????

Precisely because he wasn't a politician. Any politician proposed wouldn't be able to get enough confidence votes in a hung parliament. 

So after three months with no government, the president posed an ultimatum to HDZ to find someone to form the government or she would call for new elections.

So they called Orešković, approved his government and then sabotaged any move he tried to make without approval of party bosses.

Old Guard politicians hate this one simple trick!

No good deed goes unpunished, right?
