By Radovan Stoklasa and Jan LopatkaBRATISLAVA (Reuters) -Slovakia's opposition accused Prime Minister Robert Fico on Tuesday of laying the groundwork to take the country out of the European Union, but dropped its no-confidence motion to dismiss him and his leftist-nationalist government. Fico in turn accused the liberal pro-Western opposition of planning protests that would paralyse his administration in the latest show of growing tensions in the central European EU and NATO member country.

HANDLOVA >> Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico suffered life-threatening injuries today when he was shot and wounded in an attempted assassination that stunned his small Central European nation and drew a chorus of international condemnation. Slovak media said the shooter was a 71-year-old man but the motive was not immediately clear. Slovakia, a member of NATO and the European Union, has little history of political violence.
