Apparently the Spanish government are investigating him as it seems he was in Spain, unvaxxed. And broke the Serbian laws when he was allegedly positive.
It all could have been spared if Australia had not issues visa's in the first place. It's not the individuals at fault but again government.
Oh its blame the country and not him for thinking hes above the law... Hes now blamed his agent and lawyers for his mess... The player also blamed “human error” by his support team for a mistake in his immigration paperwork, saying they had failed to declare that he had travelled outside Serbia – to Spain – in the two-week period before entering Australia.
Lawyers in Serbia told local reporters that breaking the country’s strict isolation rules was an offence under article 248 of the criminal code, and subject to a fine or prison sentence of up to three years – although community service was more likely. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...ve-test-result I had thought all this paperwork had to be done by the person involved and not an agent....
This is truly laughable ,,Djokovic said after receiving the positive result he nevertheless attended his tennis centre in Belgrade on 18 December to uphold a “longstanding commitment for a L’Equipe interview” because he “felt obliged” to and “didn’t want to let the journalist down”. Djokovic says he socially distanced and wore a mask except while photos were taken. Hans Christian Djokovic.

He's living under his set of rules. His life to live as he pleases. The organization and the local government obliged, and then the optics were bad. So they changed course. Novak is far from the only person in Australia happy with the rules.

He's hardly an unknown. Yes Australia should be blamed for getting into the situation that they find themselves in. I'm not talking about his less than forthcoming revelations with regards the truth, but the original reason he was detained, that being not having a vaccination.
Australia is attempting to back peddle on a poor decision bringing other issues to light to the world media. What obviously mattered originally was a big name world champion player getting in to pull in the crowd/ or at least the money. It fell flat, but Australia should not pass the buck on own inefficacy at best and care less at worst with the show must go on type of mantra.
Note the inept PM cannot form a decision leaving it to his immigration minister, another one sadly out of his depth. Best not to look for leadership with this present mob. Things will as usual stumble along and events will somehow fall one way or another.
Novak Djokovic's visa canceled a second time; unvaccinated tennis star faces possible deportation ahead of Australian Open.
Djokovic’s lawyers moved swiftly to apply for an injunction that would prevent him from being forced to leave the country. They said he had not been taken into immigration detention.
The furor has shaken the tennis world and overshadowed the lead-up to the Australian Open, thrusting the sport into the heart of the global debate over government restrictions to fight the pandemic.
