Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic threw the weight of her government behind national idol Novak Djokovic on Saturday, saying it stood ready to provide all necessary guarantees to allow the tennis champion to enter Australia. APA reports quoting Reuters.
Djokovic, a vocal opponent of COVID-19 vaccine mandates, has been in immigration detention in a Melbourne hotel since Thursday after his visa was cancelled due to problems with his medical exemption from vaccination.
"He's staying in Park Hotel until the final decision is made," Brnabic told Serbian media.
"We've managed to make sure gluten-free food is delivered to him, as well as exercising tools, a laptop and a SIM card so that he is able to be in contact with his family."
Djokovic, who is seeking to win a record 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open this month, said in a court filingon Saturday that he had been given the vaccination exemption because he had contracted COVID-19 last month.
