Politician suffers stroke on live TV and rushed to hospital
Serbian politician Darko Glišić suffered a stroke during a live television interview.
The former minister for public investment appeared on a morning show for the Serbian television channel Pink on Tuesday (August 5). But things took a chilling turn when the dad-of-two's demeanor changed halfway through the televised interview.
The politician's speech began to slow down and his eyes slowly started to close as he attempted to still speak to the hosts of the show. The clip went viral on social media after being reposted by European outlet Nexta.
Thousands of viewers watched it in disbelief as his speech slurred and one side of his began to droop, both of which are common signs of a stroke, according to the NHS.
The minister was then rushed to hospital at the Clinical Centre of Serbia and believed to be in a "very serious condition", according to Serbian newspaper, Informer.
The outlet went on to claim that he was hospitalised in "an unconscious state" adding that "doctors are now fighting for his life". Zlatibor Lončar, another Serbian politician, has revealed that the minister had an "extremely complex operation" which "took longer than expected".
