The latest confirmation of Novak Djokovic uprooting his family from Serbia and settling in Greece came over the weekend as the star tennis player was spotted watching a David Cup match in Athens with his son Stefan. As reported earlier, Djokovic’s children, son Stefan, 10, and daughter Tara, eight, have started school at St. Lawrence College in Athens .
Djokovic reportedly moved his family from Serbia, including his children and wife Jelena, to Athens in Greece as he has been targeted by national media ever since throwing his weight behind the protests against president Aleksandar Vucic.
The protests against Vucic have been ongoing since November 2024, and mostly include the youth of the nation. However, Djokovic’s support for them on social media sparked outrage in the “regime-friendly” national media, who have questioned his commitment to the nation.
