Slovakia's health minister said on May 18 the prognosis for Prime Minister Robert Fico was "positive" after an assassination attempt as a court put the suspected gunman in pre-trial detention. Fico has been in hospital since May 15 when a lone gunman shot him four times, including in the abdomen. (Photo by FERENC ISZA / AFP)
