was able to speak but remained in serious condition on Thursday , officials said as police charged a suspect for the attack they called politically motivated.
"The doctors asked me to make a really very short visit," he added."I told him that we stand behind him."On Wednesday, train conductor Richard Krajcik was hoping to get a selfie with Fico after a government meeting in the central town of Handlova when shots rang out. Wednesday's attack has stoked fears in the deeply polarised nation, as officials drew a link between the political situation and the suspect's motives.
The biggest opposition party, centrist Progressive Slovakia, and others announced that they had already stopped their election lobbying. Fico, whose party won the general election last September, is a four-time prime minister accused of swaying his country's foreign policy in favour of Russia.
