"We will still work hard in order to preserve the health of the citizens and this decision was not made under any pressure," said Milinovic, adding that smoking poses a serious problem in Croatia as more than 13,000 die annually due to smoking-related illnesses.
"Nastavit ćemo raditi naporno u cilju očuvanja zdravlja naših građana i ova odluka nije donesena pod bilo kakvim pritiskom", kazao je Milinović, dodajući kako pušenje predstavlja velik problem u Hrvatskoj budući da 13.000 osoba godišnje umre od bolesti povezanih s pušenjem.
