The news website Novinky.cz showed video of Zeman, 76, arriving at the hospital by car and waving to the camera. He was in a wheelchair, which he often uses owing to a nerve condition.

The Czech Republic holds a parliamentary election on Oct. 8-9. The president"s duties include appointing the next prime minister.
