Czech President Zeman out of intensive care unit
Czech President Milos Zeman has moved from the intensive care unit of a military hospital to a normal ward on Thursday.
However, the head of state has not yet been allowed to receive visitors, according to the CTK news agency.
Czech politicians have been eagerly awaiting Mr Zeman’s return to official duties in the wake of the October elections.
Only the president can accept the resignation of the outgoing administration, and budding successors cannot form a new government without first receiving the mandate from him.
On Tuesday, two liberal-conservative alliances agreed to form a government but without an official mandate.
The opposition alliances defeated the populist incumbent Andrej Babis in the elections on October 8 to 9.
Petr Fiala, head of the Civic Democratic Party (CDP), has been chosen to lead the new coalition.
He set Monday as the date for a ceremonial signing of the coalition agreement.
Mr Zeman, 77, was taken to the hospital’s intensive care unit on October 10, the Sunday after the parliamentary election.
According to the hospital, he is being treated for complications linked to one of his chronic illnesses.
Further details on the diagnosis have not been disclosed.
