As the publication notes, the press service of the Slovak government confirmed this information.

We can confirm that the envelope containing the bullet, addressed to the Prime Minister of Slovakia, was delivered to the government office today.

It is noted that the envelope was checked by employees of the Office for the Protection of Constitutional Officials and diplomatic missions.

The received envelope is currently being checked by employees of the Department of Protection of Officials and diplomatic missions of Slovakia.

What is known about the attempt on Robert Fizo

This happened on May 15 after an external meeting of the government of Slovakia in the city of Handlova.

71-year-old Juray Tsintula tried to shoot the country's leader.

According to the criminal, he allegedly did not plan to kill Fico, but only wanted to "damage his health" so that he could not continue to pursue policies with which Tsintula disagrees, in particular on the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

A few days after the attempt, rumors spread that Robert Fitzo might not survive, because his condition was quite difficult.

Subsequently, the politician was transferred to home treatment. Now he plans to return to his duties.

Fico emphasized that he does not hold a grudge against the oppositionist who tried to shoot him, and also, they say, he does not feel hatred for this person.

In addition, Fico assured that he does not plan to sue and demand compensation from him.

I forgive him, let him figure out in his own head what he did and why he did it. In the end, it is obvious that he was only a messenger of evil, which the politically unsuccessful and disappointed opposition unleashed to an unmanageable scale, — concluded the Slovak prime minister.
