Fico may recover faster than expected - Slovak government

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by Teraz.sk.

"Most of the serious complications we faced at the beginning are over, and now there are questions about his recovery, but it may be faster than we initially expected," Kalyniak said.

He added that Fico's return to his duties as prime minister would depend "on the decision of the doctors and his subjective feeling".

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was hospitalised in serious condition after being shot on 15 May. Fico underwent two surgeries after the attack.

The Interior Ministry said that the attacker shot Fico five times. Slovak police have charged 71-year-old Juraj C.

On 18 May, a court in the Slovak city of Pezinok ruled that the suspect in the attempted murder of Fico would be held in custody until the trial.
