Djokovic pictured with ex-commander of feared paramilitary unit

A photo shows the Serbian tennis star sitting next to the former commander of a military unit that participated in the Srebrenica genocide.

Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic has been criticised over a photo showing him alongside a former commander of the notorious Drina Wolves paramilitary unit, which participated in the genocide against Bosniaks in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Images posted to Twitter on Sunday showed Djokovic sitting at a table next to Milan Jolovic, the former commander who goes by the nickname of “Legend”.

Many Serbs celebrate Jolovic for saving the life of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic during the war in Bosnia in the early 1990s.
