"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 da je suviše strog i da Makedonija treba da primeni austrijski model", rekao je Bučkovski, misleći na model po kojem svi kafe-barovi veličine preko 100 kvadratnih metara mogu da obezbede sekciju za pušače, a vlasnici mogu da podnesu zahtev za dozvolu ako zaključe da njihov lokal treba da uključuje pušače.
