4 days after the gun attack, the Slovak prime minister is out of danger for life

Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico is out of danger but remains in intensive care four days after he was shot by a gunman, the country's deputy prime minister said.

"He is out of the immediate threat to his life, but his condition remains serious and he requires intensive care," Robert Kaliňák, Fico's closest political ally, told reporters.

"We can consider his condition stable with a positive prognosis," Kaliňák said outside the hospital in the central town of Banská Bystrica, where Fico is being treated. He added: "We all feel a bit more relaxed now."

Kaliňák said Fico would remain in Banska Bystrica hospital for now, adding that his condition was still too serious to allow him to be transferred to a hospital in the capital, Bratislava, The Guardian writes. 

Fico underwent a five-hour operation on Wednesday and a second operation on Friday.

The suspected gunman, identified by Slovak media as former security guard and amateur poet Juraj Cintula, 71, was charged with attempted premeditated murder and remanded in custody by a special criminal court on Saturday.
