ZAGREB, April 2 (Hina) - Croatia's credit rating for April is still
DB4d, and the country's risk profile is positively assessed in the
light of its application for membership in the European Union and
accession into the CEFTA, notes a report by the Dun & Bradstreet
(D&B) credit rating company, cited by the Croatian BonLine company

The latest D&B report notes that Croatia's admission to the CEFTA on
March 1 further underscored Croatia's progress towards
international integration.
The report notes, however, that the "Bobetko case" was still
influencing the overall situation, as well as that the U.N. war
crimes tribunal's chief prosecutor "Carla Del Ponte claimed that
(General Ante) Gotovina has been moving freely between Croatia and
Bosnia-Herzegovina".
The grade DB4d, which Croatia has been given for months, indicates a
country of moderate risk, but with significant risk for investment
receipts.
The D&B list of Central and Eastern European countries has for
months been headed by Hungary and Slovenia, graded DB2d, which
means they are countries of low investment risk.
With the DB6d grade, Serbia and Montenegro, Usbekistan,
Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Georgia, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina
and Albania have been at the bottom of the list for months. The grade
marks countries with very high risk for investors.
