Djokovic won the trial and will be able to stay in Australia

Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic won an appeal for deportation from Australia. The trial was broadcast on YouTube.

The court agreed with the statement that the Serb had provided all the documents to enter Australia. “The medical treatment was provided by an independent commission set up by the Victorian government. He would not even have come here if he didn’t have everything he needs to enter the country, ”the judge said. At the same time, it is noted that the Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship has the ability to expel a Serb from the country by its own personal decision.

On January 5, Djokovic was denied entry to Australia, as his visa does not imply the entry into it of data on the medical withdrawal from vaccination against COVID-19. According to Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Djokovic at the time of the border crossing “did not have a valid medical exemption from vaccinations”, which is a prerequisite for entering Australia.

The 34-year-old was planning to take part in the Australian Open, which will take place from January 17 to 30.
