28/11/2000 (Agence Europe) - Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina are of course part of the Balkan countries with "potential candidate" status. It was an error to have omitted them on the list published in yesterday's EUROPE, page 9, alongside the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Albania and FYROM (Macedonia). Slovenia already has full candidate status.
