Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico is in a serious but stable condition following further surgery, the country’s health minister has said.
Mr Fico, 59, was gravely injured in an attack in the small town of Handlova on Wednesday.
Officials said it was unlikely he can be moved back to Bratislava in the next few days.
Meanwhile, the man charged with attempting to murder Mr Fico has arrived in court.
