Novak Djokovic hit the headlines all over the world after sharing his opinion about some unrest in Kosovo following his first-round win at the French Open. Unfortunately, the Serbian sensation received some criticism for being political. Novak explained that he is not a politician but he hates all sorts of wars.
This was his comment: “I am not a politician, nor do I intend to enter into debates. As a Serb, it hurts me what is happening in Kosovo. Our people have been expelled from the municipalities. This is the least I could do. As a public figure, I feel an obligation to show support for our people and all of Serbia.”
The Djkovic added: “I hear there was a lot of criticism on social media. I don’t know if someone will punish me or something like that, but I would do it again. I am against wars and conflicts of any kind.
Kosovo is our heart, stronghold, the centre of the most important events, the biggest battle took place there, the most monasteries. There are many reasons why I wrote this.”
