0:31Now PlayingSlovak Prime Minister Robert Fico’s health is showing signs of improvement following another surgery on Friday, two days after he was shot at close range in an attack that’s been widely condemned.
Defense Minister Robert Kalinak said Fico is conscious and stable in an intensive-care unit in the central Slovak city of Banska Bystrica, although his condition remains serious. He underwent a five-hour procedure on Wednesday to treat multiple gunshot wounds.
“I’m in a better mood because I can see that there is progress,” Kalinak said in a televised briefing. “It is still very serious, but for me it is hopeful.”
A medical team is scheduled to convene Monday to discuss Fico’s condition and treatment. Kalinak said it will still take a few more days to assess the direction of development definitively.
