Restauranteurs want changes in the anti-smoking law

Croatian Times

The catering guild of the Croatian Chamber of Trades and Crafts and the Zagreb Restaurant Association has sent an open letter to the government.

The letter asks for changes in the new anti-smoking law that went into effect ten days ago in the name of 16,000 Croatian restauranteurs.

They claim there has been a decline in customer numbers since the new anti-smoking law went into effect and want changes in it to bolster the Croatian economy and tourism.

The restauranteurs believe the government should let them decide whether they will be smoking or non-smoking establishments. They want bars larger than 50 square meters to have the right to reserve 30 per cent of their area for smokers.

They also want a better inspection system because some guests have refused to obey the law.

The restauranteurs have reminded the government that there are almost 100,000 bar and restaurant employees in Croatia.

There are 5,800 restaurants and almost 10,000 bars in Croatia.
