At least five shots were fired at Fico, 59, on Wednesday as he met a small group of supporters after a government meeting in the town of Handlová, about 90 miles (150km) north-east of the capital, Bratislava. Eštok confirmed that the suspect had acted alone and had previously taken part in anti-government protests.
