The appearance came as Prime Minister Robert Fico remained in a stable but serious condition after surgery following multiple gunshot wounds.
The 71-year-old retiree suspected of shooting Slovakia n Prime Minister Robert Fico on Wednesday has faced court for the first time.
Prosecutors are seeking an order from Slovakia's Specialised Criminal Court to continue detaining the suspect. He also underwent a CT scan, and was awake and stable in an intensive care unit following the surgery. Ms Lapuníková described his condition as "very serious". His government has also made efforts to overhaul public broadcasting — a move critics said would give the government full control of public television and radio.
