Serbian prosecuting authorities have now rejected claims pertaining to Novak Djokovic having submitted falsified positive PCR tests to Australian authorities.
According to prosecutors, they had been tipped off about the supposed forging of two certificates – certificates that were later used by the tennis star to apply for a vaccination exemption in his attempts to compete in the Australian Open.
Several news outlets – including the BBC and Der Spiegel – have alluded to certain discrepancies in terms of the serial numbers appearing on the PCR tests submitted by Djokovic ahead of his flight to Australia. For entering Australia, the star submitted a test result issued in Serbia on Dec. 16, which result he had used to apply for a visa exemption on the basis of “recent infection”.
After Djokovic had been granted an 11-day visa, the Serb was still deported from Australia for a failure to provide acceptable proof of full vaccination. The Australian government based its decision to deport the player on a risk of his unvaccinated status stirring up anti-vax sentiments in the country.
The world No. 1 is regarded a national hero back in his home country. Since returning to Serbia following his deportation from Australia, Djokovic has been seen visiting several churches across the country – as well as in Montenegro.
He also visited Serbia’s famously populist president Aleksandar Vucic on Thursday. Vucic has been vocal in his criticism of Australian authorities for their decision to deport Djokovic.
On Sunday, Rafael Nadal became the first men’s player to bag a record 21st Grand Slam title.
