[Nikola Vucevic] What happened to Djokovic is just politicians using their power to show off and get extra followers. It has nothing to do with Covid or visa issues, they used him to try to make themselves look better. Very sad how they treated a First Class Champion!

I've noticed that no matter what this guy does, a lot of Serbians will tend to stand behind him always. Whether they admit it or not, they seem to see him as the biggest shining example their country has produced after the disastrous 90s and any attack on him is seen as an attack on Serbia as a whole. It's like they can't separate Serbia and literally this one guy as two separate entities, or just not take it personally when he isn't accommodated for despite it being illegal. I love Serbia, I've been and love it. But I can't empathize with the willful ignorance to Novak's stupidity just because he happens to be Serbian. You can be proud of his accomplishments without pretending he never does anything wrong.
