"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.
"Nastavićemo da radimo naporno na očuvanju zdravlja naših građana i ova odluka nije doneta pod bilo kakvim pritiskom", rekao je Milinović, dodajući da pušenje predstavlja veliki problem u Hrvatskoj, s obzirom da 13.000 osoba godišnje umre od bolesti povezanih sa pušenjem.
