I have removed links for the following countries which were listed as having no such systems. The listing of all european countries and the fact that some had "none" listed beside them was inconsistent with the other continents. The following countries were removed as a result: Albania ("Transport in Albania" lists the presence of a couple of 4 lane highways, but this does not constitute a "highway system" this article lists), Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Iceland, Latvia, Moldova, and the following sentence at the end of the "Europe" section: "The microstates and territories of Åland (Finland), Andorra, Faroe Islands (Denmark), Gibraltar, Guernsey , Holy See (Vatican City), Isle of Man, Jersey, Malta and San Marino do not have motorways."

Bosnia and Herzegovina does have at least two highways that I am aware of: highway Banja Luka - Gradiška and highway Corridor Vc (only Sarajevo - Visoko section constructed so far). A statewide system of highways is in construction and there is also a two-lane limited-access road system. Also, Croatia has two systems: highways (autocesta, pl. autoceste) and expressways (brza cesta, pl. brze ceste). They are very similar to each other, because both systems' crossings must be interchanges and they both have minimum speed limits. The main difference is that expresswas have a bit lower speed limit and are mostly toll-free and that highways are mostly tolled. None of these should be compared to the state routes (državna cesta, pl. državne ceste), which are akin to the A road system in the UK or the US highways in the US.
