Dhe former Frankfurt professional footballer Luka Jovic is threatened with imprisonment in his home country Serbia for a suspected violation of Corona rules.

Under Serbian law, the court must now decide whether to accept the charges against the 22-year-old.
The attacker, who moved from Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt to Madrid in 2019, flew to Serbia in March after the corona-related interruption of game operations in Spain, where he was supposed to go into quarantine for two weeks. According to media reports, the international should have celebrated in the capital, Belgrade. Jovic, however, had spoken of going to the pharmacy.
“I apologize”
Jovic had justified and apologized for his behavior at the time. “I am very sorry that some people have not done their job professionally and have not given me specific instructions on how to behave during my isolation,” he wrote on social networks. “I apologize to everyone if I have put myself in danger in any way. I hope that together we can overcome all of this, ”he added.
