Incredible scenes at Djokovic’s home. Mother revealed. “Novak is threatened by the Albanian mafia”

Novak Djokovic is now an absolute tennis legend, he has won everything there is to win and his biggest dream of Olympic gold came true this year in Paris. In 2009, however, he had only just started winning the most important trophies. He had already won the Grand Slam title, which he won at the 2008 Australian Open. However, he was still far from the overlord he would later become.

Kosovo continues to cause major conflicts

One of the scariest stories in the Serb’s career happened in 2009. His mother Dijana told Serbian media that their entire family had to be constantly protected by Scotland Yard in London. “Novak was threatened by the Albanian mafia, the police were at home all the time! They made Djokovic hell,” we read on mondo.rs. The Albanian mafia is dangerous. The reason the mafia is angry is… Kosovo.

Kosovo has been an independent country since 2008 and is located between Serbia and Albania. The former still believe that it is their territory, even though it is mainly inhabited by Albanians. Conflicts in these areas continue to this day, with provocative behavior from fans at sporting events. This was evident during the 2024 European Championship, when fans in the Balkan country regularly insulted each other, with an Albanian player even chanting insults towards North Macedonia and Serbia.

Djokovic angered Albanian gangs, Scotland Yard must take action

Returning to Djokovic, the Serb publicly stated shortly after Kosovo declared independence in 2009 that “Kosovo is Serbia and it must remain that way.” It was these words that angered Albanians.

– I was scared because we were at home and Scotland Yard was all around us. Later people asked why Novak lost to Marat Safin. He lost because he was under pressure, but that was not talked about. There were many things that were not told at that time and we did not have to talk about them. “The most important thing is that we got through that difficult period without anything,” Djokovic said.
