Sputnik goes live from outside Djokovic's apartment in Belgrade where the player arrived earlier from the airport following his deportation from Australia where he was due to take part in the Australian Open tournament.
Earlier, the country's federal court dismissed Djokovic's visa, saying the athlete hadn't presented proof of his COVID vaccination, which is a must for travellers entering Australia.
According to the country's immigration minister Alex Hawke, if Djokovic had been allowed to stay despite not being vaccinated against COVID, this could have incited "civil unrest".
