About what he did next [do envio]I can not comment. It’s a case of him and other government officials.“
While there is no weight on what will be decided on Sunday (the reasons for the visa cancellation vary), the information calls into question the clarification Djokovic gave last week: “the next day [17 de dezembro] I attended a Children’s Awards Ceremony, had a rapid antigen test before the event and the result was negative. I was asymptomatic and feeling well and had not received a positive PCR test result before the end of the event.”.
In the same explanation, Belgrade’s regional health minister was sympathetic to the fact that Djokovic wanted to stand up for what he believed in, but lamented that his compatriot had not been vaccinated: “As a doctor and as someone who believes in the benefits of vaccination, I do not agree with his position. I have been vaccinated, as is everyone else in my office, and the government’s message is that all citizens must be vaccinated. Some accept it and some do not. We live in a free world. But to be Honestly, I’m sorry Novak was not vaccinated, because I would have encouraged others to do the same.”
