A museum for Novak Djokovic in Serbia? The country's president says plans are underway

Visiting Serbia any time soon? Get ready to add this to your must-see list: Plans are apparently underway to immortalize Novak Djokovic with a museum in his hometown of Belgrade.

The country's president, Aleksandar Vucic, made the announcement Tuesday, per a report by AFP, in the aftermath of Djokovic's gold medal victory over Carlos Alcaraz that gave Serbia its second medal of the Games, both of which have been gold. (Zorana Arunovic and Damir Mikec topped the podium in mixed 10-meter air pistol.)

"We will strive to showcase what Djokovic has done for our country in accordance with his merits and at the same time attract tourists," he reportedly said, noting that the country wants to replicate the tribute to Rafael Nadal that lives on the campus of his eponymous tennis academy on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

The hope, Vucic says, is that a museum would be finished in 2027.

Djokovic's unwavering patriotism for his homeland has been a hallmark of his career: from national competitions like Davis Cup and the Olympics and beyond. But it reached a fever pitch when he crossed winning his long-desired gold medal off of his to-do list, ending a streak of futility at the Games that dated back to a bronze in his first back in 2008.

“Everything [about this is special], but most of all it is my country,” Djokovic said in the aftermath of victory. “It’s my pride to play for Serbia. I know Carlos and Rafa [Nadal], they love to play for Spain. Andy [Murray] loved to play for Great Britain. Roger [Federer] for Switzerland. Alex Zverev won in Tokyo for Germany. You saw the reactions of all these guys when they win. It’s something special.”

Bringing Olympic gold home "may be the greatest sports achievement in [his] life," Djokovic later told Serbian television, and on Tuesday, he penned an emotional note to his compatriots that the medal is as much theirs as it is his.

"I could never give up on the dream of winning this gold medal, just as the people of Serbia have never given up on me," he wrote. "Together, we believed in the impossible. While I may be the one holding this medal, I want every Serbian to know that it belongs to all of us.

"Representing our nation is the greatest honor in the world. This medal, these moments, this life—none of it would have been possible without your unwavering support. This is because of you. This is for you."
