News from March 21:

Belgrade / Paris - "Hey boy, do you want to kill us all?" Asked the Belgrade tabloid, Kurir indignantly. Luka Jovic's ignorance in the current situation is actually unprecedented. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, curfew and the urgent instruction to avoid social contacts, the real professional celebrated in a wet mood at a birthday party with girlfriend Sofija in Belgrade.
