His dedication has sparked reactions Novak Djokovic after his win over Kovacevic in the Roland Garros opener.
The Serbian tennis player took a stand on what has been happening in Kosovo in recent days, writing on camera: “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia. Stop the violence”, while at the press conference he emphasized that he would do it again, even if he was punished.
“I am not a politician and I have no intention of entering into political debates. As a Serb, I am deeply hurt by what is happening in Kosovo as my compatriots are being evicted from the municipalities. The least I could do is this. As a public figure and as the son of a man born in Kosovo, I feel the need to show support to all of Serbia. I don’t know what the future holds for the Serbian people and Kosovo, but it is very necessary to show support“, he initially reported and added:
“I know there have been objections from international journalists. I don’t know what will happen, if they will punish me, but I have no reservations and I would do it again. I am against wars and any conflict, I have always expressed this publicly. This situation with Kosovo is a precedent under the UN Charter. I am very sorry that we are in the situation we are in. Kosovo is our stronghold, there we fought the biggest battle in our history, there are our most important monasteries. So there are many reasons why I would do it again, but mostly because this is the truth».
