Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is facing another surgery, but complications may arise with his medication, according to Pravda.

It is reported that Fico is awaiting surgery on his hip.

At the same time, the Slovak Prime Minister had a bleeding in the abdominal cavity, but it was successfully stopped. It is emphasized that the blood-thinning drugs taken by the Prime Minister may cause problems.

Miriam Lapunikova, director of the hospital where Fico is being treated, reported that he underwent a five-hour surgery due to multiple gunshot wounds, for which two surgical teams were needed.

According to her, the Prime Minister's condition remains "really very serious," and he, as before, remains in the intensive care unit.
