It is a striking message after the commotion about the unvaccinated Serb and his attempts to participate in the Australian Open. Djokovic thought he could hunt for his 21st Grand Slam title on the basis of a medical exemption and initially got a judge on his side, but after intervention by the Minister of Immigration and a lost appeal in federal court, the best tennis player in the world was awarded no visa and had to leave Australia.
According to director Ivan Loncarevic, Djokovic made the investment in the summer of 2020, but would not say how much money is involved. His company has about eleven researchers working in Denmark, Australia and Slovenia on a molecule that stops the coronavirus from infecting human cells. It is a treatment and not a vaccine, Loncarevic emphasized.
