Zeman released from hospital after one-day stay

Czech President Miloš Zeman was released from the Central Military Hospital in Prague on Friday, a day after going in for what his staff said was a planned visit. His head of office said doctors were carrying out tests of his digestive system.

The head of state was then brought by his team to the Lány presidential retreat near Prague, where he lives.

Late last year Mr. Zeman spent 48 days at the hospital after being admitted with complications to a chronic illness which doctors said was a liver condition.
