Introduction of new telephone codes

The telephone service code for former Yugoslavia (38) 
changed on 1 October 1993. On that date, the following 
telephone codes came into service:
-	Yugoslavia 	381
-	Croatia 	385
-	Slovenia 	386
-	Bosnia and Herzegovina 	387
-	The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 	389

Telephone links with the Vatican City State and the Republic of 
San Marino are now independent of the Italian network. The 
telephone code 378 came into effect for the Republic of San 
Marino on 26 October 1993. The date of introduction of the 
telephone code 379 for the Vatican City State has not been 
set. Regarding Monaco, the new code will gradually replace 
the country code 33 used so far. The change should be 
completed in late 1995 when France will be introducing a new 
numbering plan. 

As from 1 October 1993, the new telephone service code 291 
assigned to Eritrea has been in service.
