Serbian Minister of Investments Darko Glisic, who suffered a stroke on TV Pink this morning, has undergone successful surgery, but his condition remains serious, announced Health Minister Zlatibor Loncar, RTS reported, BTA reported.
Minister Loncar added that his colleague was put on a respirator and is in the intensive care unit of the Clinical Center in Belgrade.
He added that the intervention was complicated and took longer than usual because two blood vessels were damaged.
„One large blood vessel was completely blocked, and the other was not only blocked, but also bleeding. The doctors managed to fix the problem with both blood vessels and now they have blood flow“, Lončar said.
He added that Glicic is still in serious condition and that he will remain on a respirator until tomorrow morning, and then a serious fight awaits him.
„I can tell you that interventions were performed, the likes of which are performed in few centers around the world. The good thing is that he (Glicic, ed.) arrived here in the first hour and a half and that these interventions have greater success and better results when they are performed as soon as possible. This time this was observed - everything was done in the shortest possible time“, Lončar pointed out.
