Czech president Miloš Zeman undergoes minor surgery
President Miloš Zeman has given details of minor surgery he underwent at a Prague hospital during the week.
The Czech head of state said he was operated on Tuesday evening for a small abscess in his mouth. He said in a television interview Thursday night that it still hurt and he had trouble concentrating.
Zeman’s health and ability to carry on for a further five years is being followed closely as the 73-year-old head of state faces a second round vote against challenger Jiří Drahoš in a week’s time.
