The parents of tennis star Novak Djokovic took part in a protest rally in downtown Belgrade on Sunday and were optimistic regarding their son’s refusal of entry before the trial in Melbourne. «Today is a big day. Today the whole world will hear the truth », said Djokovic’s mother Dijana. «We hope that Novak will come out a free man. We send our love to him. We believe in him, but also in the independent judiciary in Melbourne, ”she said.
The conditions in the hotel in Melbourne, where Djokovic was staying, described his mother as “not humane”. Her son wouldn’t even have breakfast, might only stare at the wall, not see the park in front of it, or leave the room.
«We are proud people. They can’t break us, »said Djokovic’s father Srdjan. Novak is the “personification of freedom, everything human that a person carries within”. (DPA)
