Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico has posted a speech online in his first appearance since an assassination attempt three weeks ago.

In a pre-recorded speech posted on his Facebook ahead of the European Parliament election on Thursday, Mr Fico said the attack caused serious damage to his health and “it will be a small miracle if I return to work in several weeks”.
