JAKARTA - Slovak's team of doctors will visit Monday to assess Prime Minister Robert Fico's health and discuss plans to move him, when his condition is serious but stable and can speak.
Local media reported on Friday that the medical board would gather on Monday to assess PM Fico's condition, before deciding whether he could be transported from the City of Banska Bystrica in central Slovakia to Bratislava, reported by Reuters on May 17.
The actual news website ofity.sk linked this information to the hospital director. Meanwhile, the hospital in Banska Bystrica did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
PM Fico was shot several times after attending a government meeting in Handlova City, while intending to greet the people waiting for him outside the meeting location on Wednesday.
He was then flown by helicopter to a nearby hospital, before being flown to another hospital in Banska Bystrica, east of Handlova, where he spent more than five hours in surgery, hospital officials said.
Meanwhile, PM Fico's ally who is also President-elect Peter Pellegrini on Thursday said his condition was serious but stable and could speak.
"He can speak but only a few sentences and then he is very tired because he is in treatment," he said, after visiting PM Fico at the hospital.

It is known that the shooting was the first attempted blatant murder of a European political leader for more than 20 years, drawing international condemnation.
The incident raises questions about PM Fico's security arrangements, as the attacker managed to fire five shots from close range, although the prime minister was accompanied by several bodyguards.
