Novak Djokovic Condemns 'Violence' Against Protesters In Serbia
Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic sent his support to the thousands of people protesting against the government in Serbia on Sunday and condemned "violence" against his compatriots. Djokovic, speaking at a news conference in Melbourne where he is taking part in the Australian Open, said that he cannot "pretend that nothing is happening". "My support goes to the young people, students and all those who own the future of our country," Djokovic said after qualifying for the quarter-finals of the tournament. Serbia has been rocked by a wave of student-led protests following a roof collapse at a train station in the northern city of Novi Sad on November 1 which killed 15 people.
