BRATISLAVA, Slovakia - Mystery surrounded an ailment afflicting the
president of Slovakia on Sunday as doctors refused to rule out his son's
fear that somebody had tried to poison him.
The personal physician of President Rudolf Schuster said there was no
immediate evidence of foul play.
But he said the poisoning theory had not been excluded in view of the
wide range of noxious products and poisons that existed.
Police launched an investigation, tightening security measures around
the 68-year-old president, after his son Peter filed a complaint
Saturday against persons unknown for attempted poisoning.
Examinations and analyses had not yet provided clues to an attempt to
poison the Schuster, the president's doctor Peter Mayer said.
Presidential spokesman Jan Fuele said doctors had not yet completed a
diagnosis and did not yet know the exact cause of his illness.
Schuster, who has a long record of illness, was readmitted to hospital
late Saturday with a fever just hours after being discharged following
treatment for food poisoning.
His condition had stabilized, a spokesman said Sunday.
The former communist apparatchik catapulted into the Slovak presidency
in 1999 vowing to lead his country into the EU and NATO, had to fight
for his life two years ago with a perforated intestine.
Mayer said Sunday doctors believed Schuster might have a liver or gall
bladder infection. Antibiotics treatment had gone well and would
continue.
A medical council in charge of the president's health was examining
several possibilities including inflammation and food poisoning.
Test results were expected by Wednesday.
Schuster is a former communist who became a democratic centrist
following the fall of the communist regime in what was then
Czechoslovakia. He was elected in May 1999, six years after
Czechoslovakia's "velvet divorce" into two separate states in 1993.
Schuster in 1999 defeated authoritarian former premier Vladimir Meciar,
widely blamed for blocking Bratislava's Westwards movement.
Slovakia, which split from the Czech Republic in 1993, had long been
considered the Czechs' poor cousin, an image not helped by Meciar's
strongman political tactics.
Schuster has been under close medical observation since he was
hospitalized in June 2000 for a perforated intestine that developed
complications. He underwent two unsuccessful operations that month, and
at one point was declared clinically dead before being urgently flown to
Austria for expert care.
Schuster was a member of the Slovak Communist Party Central Committee
until the 1989 Velvet Revolution which brought down communism.
Thereafter he became ambassador in Canada, and is considered
"foreigner-friendly," speaking English, Russian, German and Hungarian.
Born in 1934, the son of a lumberjack of German extraction, Schuster,
like Meciar has sought to woo the country's working class.
Above all Schuster is seen as the man who can help Bratislava move
towards the West. He supported a decision to allow NATO warplanes
bombing Yugoslavia in 1999 to use Slovak airspace.

Rumint is that there was an attempt on his life - somebody tried to poison
him. At least that is what the idiot (= Schuster) claims.

VIENNA, Austria -- Doctors in Austria finished extensive medical tests
Thursday on Slovakia's president, but could not immediately determine
the cause of his illness.
President Rudolf Schuster's personal doctor at Vienna's General
Hospital, Dr. Wolfgang Graninger, told reporters he had finished
examining the president, but did not yet have a diagnosis. According to
the Austria Press Agency, Graninger said he was still waiting for the
results of several laboratory tests.
In the afternoon, the 68-year-old leader returned to Slovakia, where he
will continue to recover at home, said his spokesman, Jan Fule.
Schuster was admitted to the Austrian hospital Tuesday after suffering a
fever, shivering fits and general fatigue that doctors in the Slovakian
capital of Bratislava could not diagnose.
Graninger said the president's symptoms could point to an infection of
the liver or gall bladder.
Earlier in the week, doctors in Slovakia examining Schuster said his
illness was likely caused by either his gallbladder, a viral infection
or food poisoning.
His family alleged that the president had been poisoned, but Graninger
said that was "unlikely."
Speaking to reporters at the hospital Thursday, Schuster responded to
criticism in his home country for having sought medical treatment
abroad.
"My treatment in Vienna should be seen as a prelude of how life will be
when we are finally in the European Union," said Schuster. Slovakia is
hoping to become a member of the EU by 2004.
