Official: Czech president can’t perform duties due to health
PRAGUE – Health problems were preventing Czech President Milos Zeman from carrying out his duties, an official said Monday. The speaker of the Czech Senate, Milos Vystrcil, said that a letter he received from Prague’s military hospital where Zeman is being treated says the president is unable to work and the long-term prognosis is “very uncertain.” Zeman was rushed to the Czech capital’s military hospital Oct. 10. The hospital had said Zeman was in an intensive care unit in stable condition, but further details were unknown.
