Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) did not travel on Wednesday to the European Union and European Political Community summit taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark. The reason is health problems, as confirmed to the media by Alexander Kováč from the Office of the Government of the Slovak Republic.
“The Prime Minister excused himself from participation in the informal summit of the European Council and the European Political Community due to worsened health difficulties connected to the assassination attempt,” Kováč stated.
