In welcoming the tennis champion to the ministry, Plevris said Djokovic’s stated intent to live in Greece with his family was an honor for the country.
“It’s with great pleasure that we welcomed to the ministry the great athlete and man Novak Djokovic. We’re honored by his decision to reside with his family in our country,” Plevris later posted on X.
