The nurses' union ended the strike at 7pm on Thursday, union leader Anica Prasnjak announced after hours of talks with Health Minister Rajko Ostojic.
"We have reached an agreement and we are very pleased with it," Prasnjak told the press, adding that the union would continue collective bargaining on Friday together with the independent union of health and welfare workers.
Doctors' union leader Ivica Babic walked out of the meeting earlier and announced that hospital doctors would take more radical action.
