Slovakia's Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok said the country is "experiencing the worst day of its democracy" following an assassination attempt on Prime Minister Robert Fico.

"For the first time in the 31 years of our democratic sovereign republic, someone has decided to express a political opinion not in an election but with a gun on the street," he wrote on his Facebook page.

"It is a terrible disappointment for me personally, how our joint effort to belong to the civilized world of the most advanced countries went in vain," the minister added.

He also said that he would do everything to ensure that "the assassination attempt, not only on the prime minister, but also on the entire democratic establishment, is investigated in detail as quickly as possible."

The minister went on to call the attack a "huge warning to the whole of society," adding that "if we do not stop now, we will destroy everything that binds us together as a nation."
