Serbia. Montenegro. or anywhere else. As the gentleman from California said right now. consular and visa services are not offered at the United States office in Pristina. The section the Committee on International Relations bipartisanly and unanimously adopted merely asked the State Department to submit a report describing the possibility of providing consular and visa services at the United States offices in Pristina. Kosova to the residents of Kosova. That is all it does. It is very hard for people who live in Pristina and in Kosova to go to other countries. particularly old people. to get a visa. And as far as Kosova or Kosovo. there are 12 other provisions. and I have them here. in United States law that mention Kosova with an "a." So for the gentleman from Arizona to say that this somehow changes existing law is just not true. This body has passed 12 and has now signed into law parts of the law where it says "Kosova." So I think we should not upset the apple cart and change the unanimous wishes of the Committee on International Relations.
