Moments after Slovakian PM shot
A man has been arrested in the shooting, which marked the first major assassination attempt on a European political leader for more than 20 years.
Mr Fico is a populist who has previously been compared to former US president Donald Trump and is seen as sympathetic to Russia President Vladimir Putin.
He staged a political comeback last year when he won parliamentary elections – raising fears he would abandon his country’s pro-Western stance.
