The tennis superstar said Kosovo was the 'heart of Serbia' despite it being recognised as a sovereign state 15 years ago.
abc.net.au/news/novak-djokovic-kosovo-serbia-message-french-open/102409438Novak Djokovic has stirred anger after calling for peace in northern Kosovo after winning his first match at the French Open.
Djokovic explained his decision to write the message to Serbian media in a press conference after the game. Kosovo, which is also bordered by Albania, North Macedonia and Montenegro, has been grappling with unrest for decades. Petrit Selimi, Kosovo's former foreign minister, said claiming Kosovo was the heart of Serbia was an "unacceptable political, irredentist message".
