"The Ministry has not prepared such a draft, it has only collected legal solutions that are applied in other European countries at the government's request," ministry spokesman Zlatko Mehun said, dismissing speculation in the "Vecernji list" daily that the government might abolish the current regulation in the autumn and introduce a regulation which would allow drivers to have 0.3, 0.5 or as much as 0.8 per mille of alcohol in their blood.
Mehun said the ministry had also prepared an analysis of the effects of the existing law and a comparison of the situation on roads before and after its entry into force.
Ministry officials claim that the number of fatalities in road accidents since the existing law went into force last August has been the lowest in the last 40 years.
