Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico's condition has improved, the hospital where he is undergoing treatment has said. He is recovering from gunshot wounds after an attempted assassination earlier this month.
F.D. Roosevelt University Hospital in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia released a short statement on Fico's condition on Saturday: "After today's medical board meeting, the team of attending physicians confirmed a subjective improvement in the prime minister's health condition."

According to the Special Criminal Court, which is hearing Cintula's case, one of the main reasons behind the attack was Bratislava's decision not to send weapons to Ukraine in the ongoing conflict with Russia. Fico has argued against supplying Kiev with weaponry, fulfilling his campaign promises and stopping all Slovak military aid to Ukraine after taking office last year.

Thus far, the attack has been treated as an attempted murder, yet it could end up being re-classified as an act of terrorism, Prosecutor General Maros Zilinka said earlier this week.
"If questions arise in society as to why this is not treated as a crime of terrorism, I answer that it may happen that the act is reclassified as such, but only based on the results of the evidence," Zilinka told reporters on Wednesday.
Comment: Perhaps one shouldn't be surprised. Fico has long been vocal about his antagonism to the EU and his support for Russia:
