Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has been moved from hospital, two weeks after being seriously wounded in an assassination attempt. 

Fico has served as prime minister for more than 10 of the last 18 years - returning to power last September, leading a populist-nationalist coalition.

Grey said “Slovakia is really polarised at the moment – the attack has deepened tensions.”
