"The vaccination campaign across the world will suffer because Novak now has been promoted as an anti-vaccination icon," he said.
"In my opinion, when it comes to this case, he should not have been allowed to come to Australia at all, in order to avoid this situation," he told the ABC. He works closely with organisations and individuals seeking asylum and refuge in Serbia and other parts of Europe and believes what Australia has done to Djokovic is bad practice.
Rules and regulations are there for reasons.! Just because you are famous and have money shouldn't be any different especially in when there are countless lives at risk.
I didn’t hear one scrap of understanding from any of the Serbian’s interviewed in this article for the huge personal sacrifices Australians (& Melbournians, AO host city) made in protecting the community, the vulnerable & hospitals w/some of the world’s strictest Covid rules.
So in Serbia you can walk around even you are COVID positive?
Who cares?
I hope that dog’s vaccinated?
Serbs get angry at burnt toast, overripe avocados, underripe bananas and clear liquor below 150 proof. Basing any thought process on Serb anger is like using Oscar the grouch as an anger management sponsor.
The Serbs should also be angry that their citizen is a liar and a cheat.
Don't care!! Not important to Australia in anyway!! Stop wasting broadcast time on bullsht stories when we have ScottyThePathologicalLiar as pm!!
He was already an anti vax icon. And drying him entry is actually equal treatment - he is being treated as my other Serbian citizen, independently of his wealth or fame, so it’s the right decision. There should be no exceptions for tennis stars or anyone else. Period.
Who cares 💁🏻♀️
Those guys are ALWAYS angry.
Needy education
Australians are angry he didn’t get the jab .
Who. Fucking. Cares.
If DjokerNole respected HIS Country, he would have been honest instead of lying on his entry papers to Aus, & he wouldn’t have blamed his staff. He needs to learn to be humble, honest & always respectful in another Country. Go home and grow up!
They can stay over there and I’m ok with that
Being unvaccinated in Australia is not a crime. Coming into Australia is not a crime if you have an exemption. I hope the court can sort this out.
A dishonest man is no hero. He’s risked others lives with his attitude. Deport him now.
animal farm means i will never vote LiberalAus again
Who really cares what the Serbs think.They should worry about the genocide they caused.
Stop blaming Australia. That man brought it upon himself instead of swallowing his pride and accepting the fact that the rules say he can't play. He tried to bend the rules. He caused this; He is to blame. So stop blaming Australia.
No Glory must be awarded to anyone breaking rules which 90% of Aussies persevered. The high civility and standards are sacrosanct to mainstream Australians. It's NOT negotiable.
No 1 cares
😂 it’s not that complicated. He’s their main source of pride and he’s now been exposed as an antivaxxer nutter. Best they get a new hero
Who gives a shit. What have they ever done for us?
Imagine if this was Andy Murray. Do you think you’d get hundreds of kilted Scots waving Soltaires in Melbourne CBD getting angry at the Australian government and claiming anti Scottish sentiment?!? Of course not. The Australian Serbs have politicised this and it’s embarrassing.
Couldn’t give two shits about the Serbian government or it’s people. Wasn’t long ago they were ethnically cleansing. They have zero moral high ground.
This is a horrendous argument he does not want to “just play tennis” he moved to Monte Carlo for Tax Reasons not Patriotism, he held a tennis contest for anti-covid busting reasons and now his in-country arrest is continuance of his self interested have cake and eat it gambit
In which case the Serbs have put Djokovic on a pedestal that he does not deserve. He was dishonest in the statements made on his immigration entry card and has been less than honest since. These are challenging times and we must all obey the rules including Djokovic.
NO ONE CARE Stop being hysterical babies.
Give a sh17.....
Djokavic could depart on his own fruition and avoid Deportation, in doing so he would not have a three year entry ban imposed. Djokavic is not honest and is the worst kind of example to others worldwide.
Djokavic has lied, distorted the truth not only in Australia but elsewhere in the past month. Tennis Australia 🇦🇺 and Djokavic contrived a greasy untruthful effort to enter our country. Hopefully Djokavic lies and ignorant behaviour will catch up with him and he is Deported.
Who cares
Many Serbians are enraged by the Australian government’s decision to try and deport Novak Djokovic. But the angered must realise that the fault for this situation lays squarely at the feet of their sporting hero, who should have been vaccinated and not cheated on his visa form.
Once all the legal and curated spin is removed, this mess is the tennis guy's fault. They should be mad at him.
Do. Not. Care.
I'm angry that people are waiting years to have there day in court. They open on a Sunday just because the world no.1 tennis players needs to play tennis. He broke the rules.
Lucky we have new tanks and subs on order, in a few decades we'll show them Serbs....
Aunty now promoting Serbian BS, when has the ABC ever been for Australians?
Serbs should be angry at Djokovic for turning up to children's events while infected
Most Australians are angry at the Australian government too. For many issues.
Serbia needs to get over that it's got anything remotely to do with him being a Serbian. It's about him being unvaccinated and the govt wanting to make an example of a tall poppy cause it gets them attention. Nationality is SO irrelevant in this particular case
Not to worry ... the Serbs have probably just confused us with 'Austria' ...
The majority of patients are probably unvaxxed and our courageous front line medicos are working hard to save lives. This is what Novak needs to respect!
So Australia invites Novak to the Australian open knowing his vaccination stance and now has removed his visa on character grounds because he may be a bad influence on others intending to vaccinate when he has positively inspired million of people with his tennis? Discrimination!
I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight knowing Serbia are upset with us. Now I know how Kosovans feel...
What a crock of shit, 50+ deaths overnight, elective surgery axed, RAT shortages, PCR shortages, grocery shortages, ambulance shortages, N-95 mask shortages, 3rd dose shortages, paediatric dose shortages, massive leadership shortage, tennis
The Sunday Age spoke to eight nurses and doctors at Victorian hospitals this week who detailed the harrowing impacts of the intense demands on the hospital system, worsened in recent weeks by mass furloughing of staff as the Omicron variant spread across the country.
Multiculturalism is failing.
Just get an injection, all the problems disappear
Why the fuck are they angry at the Australian government? They should be angry at the Chinese government.
If Serbs don't like our rules and laws perhaps return to Serbia and live under theirs. Remember Australia was generous to those that came from war torn Serbia
Eastern Europeans are grumpy most of the time
As a national hero, ND is responsible for the low rates of vaccination in his country. That has real consequences
Yawn when they call us out for our terrible treatment of refugees not just a selfish anti vaxxer I'll care
Australians are angry at the Australian government for not acting like a government. I couldn't give a toss about some rich dude who has achieved nothing other than playing with a ball
Ooooooo, all us Aussies are SO SCARED of the SERBS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tonga? Emergency? Tsunami? Coverage?
The Serbs are angry with everyone just ask the Croatians and Muslim Serbs.
What is this? Toddler tantrum ... I won’t stop until I get what I want...a little more push, more noise and everyone will give me what I want... c’mon, the case is close, Visa is cancelled ❌ full stop... Let's move to the next news....anything else is happening in the world 🌍
These dirty gypsys still crying? It’s only been two weeks.
Who actually cares what they think?
