Slovakia's Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok admitted on Sunday that the suspect in the attempted murder of the country's prime minister, Robert Fico, may not have acted alone.
According to the minister, quoted by local media, an investigation team has been set up to determine whether writer Juraj Cintula, 71, acted as a "lone wolf".
"There is also a version that the perpetrator was part of a certain group of people who may have encouraged and supported each other in this act," he said.
The Slovak prime minister, it is recalled, was seriously injured after being shot after a government meeting next to the House of Culture in the city of Handlova on Wednesday.
This Sunday, four days after the attack on the head of government, Slovakia's Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kalinak said that Fico is out of danger, but still needs intensive care.
"There is no longer any immediate danger to his life, but his condition remains serious," Kalinak told local media.
On Saturday, the court in Pezinok, a small town on the outskirts of the capital, Bratislava, ordered the preventive detention of the suspect. The suspect was charged with attempted premeditated murder and could face a sentence of between 25 years and life imprisonment.
Fico, who has been prime minister since his centrist party, Smer-SD, won the legislative elections last autumn, has long been a controversial figure in Slovakia and beyond.
His return to power last year on a pro-Russian and anti-American platform led to concerns among members of the European Union and NATO that he could abandon the country's pro-Western course, especially in relation to Ukraine.
This assassination attempt has deeply shocked Slovakia, a country of 5.4 million people, a member of the European Union and NATO, which has been strongly politically divided for years.
