Subsequent clashes in September 2023 near a Serbian Orthodox monastery resulted in four deaths and the discovery of a large weapons cache, suggesting a planned military operation.

The deterioration in Turkey's state fragility correlates with an increase in perceived corruption, as measured by Transparency International. Turkey's ranking worsened from 64th in 2007 to 107th in 2024. This suggests a vicious cycle where declining governance fuels corruption, further eroding state capacity.
