Hey, @Mihnea20073! Welcome to Shopify Community!

It sounds like you haven't activated the markets involving those missing countries in the Shopify Markets area in your admin. Besides adding them to the shipping zones in your shipping profile, you need to activate the countries you ship to in the Settings > Markets page to enable customers to select those countries at the checkout. You may head over to that page and check if the countries say Inactive such as in the screenshot below.

If they are inactive, you may click Manage beside each country and click Activate market to activate it.

Feel free to give that a go and test your checkout to see if it fixes the problem.

If it doesn't resolve the problem, it's best that we take a look at your checkout and settings to pinpoint the cause and advise a solution.
