The president of Kosovan tennis has called for Novak Djokovic to be sanctioned by tennis authorities after he wrote that “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia – stop violence” jamesgraysport reports from RolandGarros ➡️ More via iPaperSport
“We will request from the ITF [International Tennis Federation], the ATP [the men’s professional tour] and the French Tennis Federation [FFT].”Djokovic said on Monday: “As a public figure, regardless of the area, I feel an obligation to show support for our people and all of Serbia.
He 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.” But it is still not recognised by the Serbian government and violence has broken out in the north of the country after local elections that were boycotted by many Serbs still living in Kosovo, which is mostly inhabited by ethnic Albanians.
“Okay, Djokovic has some connections, he still has some family there I think, and he visited that part. It’s understandable he’s connected with that part.
