The Serbian President had called for the country’s hero to return to his homeland following his humiliating mistreatment by the Australian government and authorities.
People wave a Serbian national flag outside the VIP exit of Belgrade’s international airport on Monday.At the airport the fan turnout was noticeably and surprisingly thin given Djokovic could have opted for his homes in Spain or Monaco. Granted, it was Monday lunchtime when the world No.1 and his entourage landed but the sun was shining, the snow melting and no one could say cold conditions kept them away.
“No, definitely not,” said Senad, also from Belgrade, when asked the same question. “Serbians have always been a people who are giving their lives for freedom, the way we think is free.”He agreed that Djokovic could make things easier by just getting vaccinated but insisted: “This is the free world. Why is choice the problem?”“Get deported, get deported,” they jeered when I introduced myself as an Australian journalist.
People hold a banner reading “Novak, God bless you” as they wait outside the VIP exit of Belgrade’s international airport.He slunk back into Belgrade into silence, after granting a few fans air side a happy snap but denying the few outside a glimpse, smile or wave.
Disappointed Djokovic supporters, carrying Serbian national flags, hug after waiting in vain for him outside the VIP exit of Belgrade’s international airport on January 17.Serbia began rolling out its shots in December 2020, months before Australia got going. It offered its citizens a choice of two Chinese jabs, Russia’s Sputnik and Pfizer. Twelve months on, less than half of the population has been vaccinated.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Germany’s Olaf Scholz both warned the superstar that he would have to abide by the health rules of their countries too.Testing positive for COVID-19 and heading out to meet reporters for an interview anyway won’t be behaviour the Serb can expect to get away with any longer. The precedent has been set by Australia.
