Former President Miloš Zeman was hospitalised after a medical examination on Thursday due to a blood clot which caused the blood supply to his leg to stop, the Czech News Agency reports. He then underwent surgery in Prague's Motol hospital to correct the problem. Mr. Zeman's spokesperson Jiří Ovčáček said that the health issue was related to his diabetes and that he is expected to remain in hospital for about a week. A hospital spokesperson said that doctors will be able to provide more information on Friday.
