Serbia's Prime Minister Ana Brnabic has slammed Novak Djokovic for a "clear violation" of his COVID-19 isolation requirements.
The remarks came before the Serbian tennis champion released a statement admitting he knowingly attended a photoshoot and interview in Belgrade while positive with the virus.
In an interview Ms Brnabic thanked Mr Djokovic for "what he has done for the Republic of Serbia" but her government will be investigating the nine-time Australian Open champion as "the laws equally apply to all".
"There are some standards that have to be met.
"In this case it seems to me that if he was aware of it then it is a clear violation of the rules – and what the sanctions are that's what relevant institutions will have to look into."
