Czech President Milos Zeman was taken to hospital in the capital, Prague, on Sunday, after holding a meeting with the country’s prime minister, Andrej Babis, on the formation of a new government.
The emergency vehicle that transported the president was marked as being a mobile ICU unit, eyewitnesses noted.

In September, Zeman spent eight days in hospital, recovering from what he described as dehydration and mild exhaustion.
The 77-year-old, who has been the head of state since 2013, started using a wheelchair earlier this year due to neuropathy in his legs.
