Novak Djokovic might be getting a Montenegrin passport as someone who is very fond of the country and spends time there.
Many Serbians enjoy Montenegro because the country used to be part of Serbia. Many years ago, the countries were part of a much bigger one called Yugoslavia. Even when countries like Slovenia and Croatia left, the name remained until 2003, when it changed to Serbia and Montenegro.
In 2006, the country gained independence, but there are a lot of Serbians still living there. According to reports, Djokovic's family line is connected to the country, with extended family members still living there.
In any case, the Serbian enjoys spending time there and was there this summer before travelling to Cincinnati, where he'd win the trophy. The country's Prime Minister, Dritan Abazovic, is keen to make the move as he's been handing out passports to several Serbian athletes.
Noted basketball player Vlade Divac got one earlier. According to Abazovic, there is no external pressure for the move, and according to N1info, the 23-time Grand Slam champion should be also one of the recipients of the Montenegrin passport.
There is no pressure here, it is a matter of will, he is equally welcome without it. And not only him, but anyone who really deserves and can be a promoter, among other things, of our country of Montenegro. He’s a big fan of Montenegro, he often stays there, is there anything better than to be visited by people on whom we have an undivided opinion?
Around which it is easy to animate others to follow their example, even if it is unattainable. In general, I think that sports help us a lot to overcome some of the difficulties we have, political or economic, in a much easier way. My full support to people who are a global brand. They are not only a brand of Serbia, nor of Montenegro, they are a global brand.
