Prime Minister Robert Fico remains in serious condition but his life is no longer in danger, Slovak officials say.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico’s life is no longer in danger following an assassination attempt, Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kalinak has said.
“He has emerged from the immediate threat to his life, but his condition remains serious and he requires intensive care,” Kalinak, Fico’s closest political ally, told reporters on Sunday.
A gunman shot Fico multiple times last week in an attack that sent shock waves around the world, and government officials had said his life was in danger.
The incident took place as the Slovak leader was greeting supporters after a government meeting in the central town of Handlova.
Fico underwent a five-hour operation on the same day he was shot, as well as a second procedure on Friday at a hospital in the central city of Banska Bystrica.
