"Tonight, the doctors managed to stabilize the patient's condition. Unfortunately, the condition remains very serious, because the injuries are complicated," said Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Robert Kalinak.
A hospital official also said today that Robert Fico is stable, but in serious condition.
"Doctors continue to treat Robert Fico in an attempt to improve his condition," Robert Kalinak told reporters at the hospital in Banska Bystrica.
