Srdjan Djokovicdidn’t have much to say when asked about his family being called “gypsies” by Republika Srpska president Milorad Dodik. During a guest appearance on RTS, Dodik thought he was off air when he started discussing the Djokovic family.

“Though, I can tell you, these Djokovics are some hard motherf——, ugh… Our people experience it emotionally, but when you get into business ufff… Gypsies for real,” Dodik said. N1 asked Djokovic’s father to share his thoughts on the Dodik comments, to which Srdjan just said: “No comment.”

Last week, Djokovic competed in Banja Luka and his brother Djordje was the tournament director at the Srpska Open.

Dodik also played a major role in the organization of the Srpska Open. After his comments on Djokovic went viral, Dodik apologized to the entire Djokovic family and said insulting the Djokovics wasn’t his intention. “I am sorry that I experienced disappointment in RTS on this occasion.

I will continue to respect and appreciate the success of the one and only Novak Djokovic and to respect and appreciate his family as before. We will finalize all arrangements regarding the ‘Srpska Open’ tournament.

I am glad that I got to know the managerial and leadership skills of Djordje Djokovic [Novak’s brother] and I remain very grateful for the fact that this year’s tournament was held in Banja Luka. I apologize if the speculative display on social networks hurt members of the Djokovic family.

It hurt me, as well. I’d like to thank RTS for my sleepless night. I can’t believe they did this in such a heinous way. As a sincere admirer of Novak Djokovic both as a tennis player and as a man, I wish him and his family all the luck.

Success in everything to Srdjan [Novak’s father] and Djordje,” Dodik said in a statement.
