According to the latest information provided by Fico's deputy Robert Kalinac and Interior Minister Mateusz Sutaj Estok, Fico was hit by four bullets and underwent five-hour surgery at a Bansk Bystrica hospital on Wednesday.
Kalinek said that the severity of the injuries could make recovery difficult and that Fico would have to "learn a lot of things again". Even though FICO is responsive in th hospital, there is still no final certainty "that we have won."
Health experts said complications after the operation could still be life-threatening. Kalinak stands in for Fico during his absence.
Bratislava's government office said additional information about the 59-year-old politician's health condition would be released "when the situation permits."
The office called on the media, politicians and the general public not to disseminate only officially confirmed information, saying that misleading false information and speculations have also been reported by the media.
