On 11 March 2025, the Council of Ministers approved referring the draft law for the prevention of consumption of alcoholic drinks by underage persons to the parliament. Beyond preventing alcohol consumption and protecting young people from its effects, the law also aims to create safe and healthy environments and provide health promotion workers with effective tools to stimulate healthy habits.
Among other measures, alcohol consumption will be prohibited in places where minors are a majority, such as educational and sports centres. The sale and display of alcoholic beverages will be forbidden in establishments that are primarily intended for underage persons. The regulation also prohibits advertising alcohol beverages to minors or minimizing health risks in advertising aimed at the general population. It also forbids commercial alcohol-related communication on public roads within a 150-metre radius of educational, health and social centres, parks and playgrounds.
