Djokovic family settles in Greece amid tensions in Serbia

Novak Djokovic has enrolled his children in a private school in Athens as the 
tennis champion and his family begin a new chapter of life in Greece.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner, long celebrated in Serbia as a national hero, 
has in recent months faced criticism from pro-government media in Belgrade over 
his public support for student protests.

Those demonstrations began last December after a tragic railway station 
collapse in Novi Sad, which claimed 16 lives and fuelled accusations of 
corruption.

Djokovic expressed solidarity on social media, praising the strength of 
Serbia’s youth and their calls for change.

He later dedicated a victory at the Australian Open to an injured protester, 
wore a “students are champions” jumper at a Belgrade basketball game, and 
shared images of mass rallies. Serbian tabloids responded by accusing him of 
disloyalty and backing foreign influence.

Reports now suggest Djokovic has enrolled his son Stefan, 11, and daughter 
Tara, 8, at Saint Lawrence College, a British independent school in Athens.

The family has also purchased a home in the city’s southern suburbs. Djokovic 
was recently seen playing tennis with his son at Kavouri Tennis Club, where he 
posed for photos with locals.

Speculation is growing that the world number one may seek a Greek Golden Visa, 
which offers residency through investment.

He has also met twice with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, most recently on 
the island of Tinos.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has also tried to downplay tensions, 
insisting he would never criticise Djokovic personally.
