How Novak Đoković is truly a humanitarian

You may have heard of him. Either know his name in standard Engleski as Novak Djokovic or in Srpski Latinica as Novak Đoković, greatest tennis player of Serbia or one of the all time greats or a joker behinf the scenes or simply, the best. But have you heard of his humanitarian works in a small instance? Maybe not people knew but the Serbs are grateful to have this one of a kind person that continues to help the Serbs of Kosovo and as well as telling the world what is happening in his homeland, specifically the ignorance of BBC and CNN that never made a good coverage of the floods in Srbija.

Can someone recall how he was awarded the Order of St. Sava? Simple answer for that. Back in 2011, he was awarded by the Srpska Pravoslavna Crkva through Patrijarh Srpski Irinej for his assistance for the Serbs of Kosovo(as well as churches and monasteries) and love for the church. Can someone do those things even if they are no. 1 in tennis or any other sports? Can someone combine that nationalism with the love of God without being an extremist or allied with corrupt politicians?

He is no. 1 but he never lets his head become bigger. He is humble and somehow, a true person. One thing we can take from him is that, he is a true Serbian for he cares for the Kosovo Serbs. Well, i hope this article would awaken some athletes on their own country that sharing your wealth and disregarding political ambitions would help everyone and not just being a sports personality.

From what i learned from this facebook page "Countries that have not recognized Kosovo", the Balkan neighbors helped Srbija and Bosna, ranging from Hrvatska to Makedonija and others.

That is from Wikipedia, but were is Albania? Japan, the country i am right now is fair enough more, sending money to both Bosna i Srbija. Where are the other countries not mentioned there or even helping without the news? Can't even other rich countries send help? If you would ask me, i will help them if i am there.

Good for Srbija is that, almost everyone helped from within. Notable Delije and Grobari supporters, KK Crvena Zvezda players, OFK Beograd, Dejan Lazarević(lost during the rescue efforts) and others. Even people helped animals and animals helped each other as well.

Yet, CNN and BBC is idle when reporting about the flooding, which was criticized so much by Serbian Tennis Champion Novak Đoković, describing the lack of reporting by this big news outlets as idle. Good thing that, more people who loved Srbija and knew the Balkans(Bosna too and others) prayed for the people affected and donated what they can donate for them. I actually envy those who donated everything or what they can do because i have to hide from my parents this love and support for Srbija. Yet, the only thing i can give Srbija i Bosna is, Molitva. Yes, Molitva is the Serbian term for a prayer. Sincere prayers will strengthen the people affected to stand up and fight the rising waters as they will live on after everything would be fine.

Molim, Molitva Za Srbija! Hvala Ti

I contacted my Srbi brate i sestra just this Saturday(May 17th) with effort and continuity since, i cared for their country and if they are in good hands. Some of them are safe, but most are affected by these rising waters. I also learned from a friend, Tami, that the Meteorological agency used the name "Tamara" so she was a bit unwell. I told everyone i knew that, Help is On the Way or i will pray for their safety or any goodwill thoughts from my heart to make sure there spirits will high.

Continue helping Bosnia and Serbia to fight the rising waters of the Sava and Danube and pray for their safety more and their strength!

Hvala Svako moja brate i sestra +++
