World tennis player Novak Djokovic was involved in a political scandal in the last days of the year over a bottle of brandy. The Serbian tennis player was photographed with a gift, a special drink representing Draza Mihajlovic, a general in the Yugoslav army and leader of the Chetnik movement, who has a controversial reputation.
Some Serbs consider him a hero of World War II, but Mihajlovic, also known as “Uncle Draza,” is not particularly popular in other former Yugoslav republics like Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia for war crimes during World War II. .
In Croatia, they raged against Nole, and the media reported that they did not expect Djokovic to support “war criminals and nationalists”, while in Bosnia they wrote that the Joker “ruined his entire reputation with a photo.”
This is not the first international sports-flavored scandal involving General Mikhailovich. Years ago, legendary Serbian basketball player Milan Gurovic was not allowed to enter the territory of Croatia and Bosnia during Partizan’s visits to the countries in question, because he has a tattoo of the Mihajlovic in question on his shoulder.
