Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old man who reportedly shot Robert Fico, Prime Minister of Slovakia, may be connected with Slovenskí Branci, a pro-Russian militarised group.

Details: Panyi tweeted two screenshots of Facebook posts by Slovenskí Branci which show the same man who made the attempt on Fico’s life.
Looks like Slovak PM Robert Fico's reported assailant, writer Juraj Cintula, was associated with pro-Russian paramilitary group Slovenskí Branci (SB).
Slovenskí Branci is an unregistered paramilitary group that has been active in Slovakia since 2012.
On 15 May, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot after a government meeting and taken to hospital.
Eyewitnesses say the prime minister approached some people who had greeted him, and that is when several shots were fired. »
