"We don't have anything against this law but we think that it is too restrictive and that Macedonia should apply the Austrian model," said Buckovski, referring to the model by which cafe bars of over 100 square meters can secure smoking sections for smokers, and owners can apply for a license if they decide their establishment should include smokers.
"Nemamo ništa protiv ovog zakona ali mislimo kako je prestrog, te bi Makedonija trebala primijeniti austrijski model", kazao je Bučkovski, misleći na model po kojem svi kafe-barovi veličine preko 100 četvornih metara mogu osigurati sekciju za pušače, a vlasnici mogu podnijeti zahtjev za dozvolu ukoliko odluče da bi njihov lokal trebao uključivati pušače.
