Director Miroslav Zavoral of the Central Military Hospital in Prague said Zeman, 77, was admitted due to complications related to an undisclosed chronic condition. "We know the diagnosis precisely, which allows us to target treatment," Zavoral said, adding that he did not have the president's approval to disclose details of the diagnosis.
Zavoral did not say how serious the president's condition was.
In the Czech Republic, the president leads talks with party leaders after elections to find a workable majority. Under the constitution, his authority to appoint the prime minister passes to the speaker of the lower house if the presidential position is vacated.
