Slovak PM has surgery again, condition 'still very serious': official

Slovak PM Robert Fico was shot on Wednesday by a 71-year-old 'lone wolf'. The previous operation lasted five hours, and his current condition, according to deputy prime minister Robert Kalinak, is still troubling."His condition remains very serious ... I think it will take a few more days before we can definitively understand the direction of his recovery," Kalinak said.

"He was operated on again, he had an almost two-hour-long operation," deputy prime minister Robert Kalinak told reporters on Friday outside the hospital in Banska Bystrica. Officers brought along the alleged gunman, who was wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet, to the apartment he shared with his wife in the western town of Levice, Markiza TV footage showed.

"This is a lone wolf whose actions were accelerated after the presidential election since he was dissatisfied with its outcome," Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok said.
