ZAGREB, May 22 (Hina) - The Croatian Embassy in Great Britain
strongly protested during talks with the state secretary in the
Foreign Office, Emyr Jones Perry, about the recent "EURO 96"
publication for the European Football Championships which ran
inaccurate and tendentious information about Croatia as one of the
participants, a statement from the Croatian Foreign Ministry said.

The "EURO 96" publication with a list of countries
participating in the event had been distributed to 3,200 schools
and was intended as an informative material for school children, so
the consequences could be even greater, the statement said.
The publication runs inaccurate linguistic and religious
information about Croatia, as well as a number of distorted and
malicious facts about Croatian history and economy.
The publication was published by the University of Wales.
