[ Macedonia ]

Srečna/Sretna/Srekna nova godina! Gëzuar vitin e ri! Happy New Year! This year will be difficult for Macedonian smokers (40-50% of the population!): a law has been passed prohibiting smoking in public places, offices, restaurants, and bars (is this a result of further EU integration??). Smokers will be segregated in special rooms where no food can be served. Fines of more than 4 000 euro are foreseen for people/establishments not complying with the new regulations. This will maybe lead to a better application of the law than in other Balkan countries (apparently, there is a similar law in Bosnia-Herzegovina, but no-one is aware of it!...).
