On Obiliç Road near the center of Zvecan, northern Kosovo, stands a quaint boxed red house once belonging to the family of Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic. "Djokovic was born and grew up here," a local resident recalls, though the family has reportedly moved to Belgrade following his success. Djokovic often frames Serbia as a victim in his political comments about Kosovo, a perspective contrasting with the region's troubled history under Slobodan Milosevic. As of April 21, 2024, northern Kosovo voters are at the polls to decide on the potential removal of four ethnic Albanian mayors, with a successful ouster requiring more than 50% turnout—complicated by a Serb party boycott. By 3 PM, over 200 votes were cast in Leposaviq, Zubin Potok, and Northern Mitrovica, while Zvecan had none. (VX Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)
