SIR — The Consulate of the Republic of Serbia in Uganda would like to complain about your article “Six to Serbia” published on July 3. On June 4, the Republic of Montenegro seceded from the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro and became an independent, sovereign state called the Republic of Montenegro.

There is a contradiction between the headline of the article and the actual text itself. whereas the headline says “Six to Serbia” the text says “six Ugandan cyclist depart to Montenegro ......”.

For the time being the Consulate of the Republic of Serbia in Uganda does Consulate services for the Republic of Montenegro. Procedure, including issuing of visas for the members of Ugandan cycling team was started during the time of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro but was completed after the Republic of Montenegro became a separate state which involved additional administrative procedure.

The Consulate of the Republic of Serbia donated pocket money to the members of the Uganda cycling team and the ceremony was held at the Consulate of the Republic of Serbia where visas were given to the members of the team as well as donation of the pocket money.
