Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico is back on the job as Prime Minister on Tuesday, two months after surviving an assassination attempt.

Pro-Russian Fico, who represents the populist and nationalist party Smer, was shot several times in connection with an appearance in the city of Handlova on May 15. After the attack, he underwent two major operations.

Fico arrived at Tuesday's government meeting through a tunnel to avoid journalists, according to Slovak media.

"Dear progressive liberal media and opposition, I apologize for having survived, but I'm back", Fico wrote on Facebook and published a picture of himself in his office.
