Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico's condition is still serious, so his early return should not be expected, according to Aktuality.
The head of the Smer parliamentary club in parliament, Jan Richter, said that according to preliminary estimates, the prime minister could be fully healthy by the end of the year.
"The extent of the injury was so great that it would be irresponsible to expect a very quick return... We should wait until the end of the year for a full recovery," he added.
According to him, full recovery also includes time for rehabilitation for the prime minister.
Attempted assassination of Fico
On May 15, Slovak writer Juraj Cintula attempted to assassinate Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.
He shot the politician with a pistol about five times. Fico was immediately taken to the hospital and underwent several surgical interventions.
