Damir's crazed threats
By Chris Lines in London
January 19, 2006
DAMIR Dokic wants to kidnap estranged daughter Jelena, and has threatened to kill an Australian as revenge for her returning to the country.
In a sensational rant to a Serbia newspaper, Damir has vowed revenge against Australia for conspiring to return the 2000 Wimbledon semi-finallist to the country.
Damir, renowned for his erratic behaviour, also said he wants to drop a nuclear bomb on Australia and accuses Croatia and the Vatican of influencing her decision to quit Serbia and return to Australia.
Not surprisingly, Damir played down his comments when contacted by Melbourne radio station Nova this morning, but unfortunately for him, many of them are now in print.
Under her father's guidance, Jelena quit Australia for Serbia in 2001, and has only just returned to the fold after becoming estranged from Damir.
"Australia, with the help of Croatia and the Vatican, have brainwashed my daughter," Damir told Serbian daily Kurir.
"I have thought about dropping a nuclear bomb on Sydney since Jelena lost in the first round this week, for which Australia is to blame.
"I have even thought about killing an Australian in revenge, but I wouldn't gain anything from it."
Damir has sought help from Serbia's politicians, including an accused war criminal, in kidnapping Jelena.
"Only two were ready to help," he said.
"One of them however, Vojislav Seselj, is waiting to be tried at the International War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague."
Damir said it is Australia, rather than him, that is mentally suspect.
"Australia is a spoiled nation," he said.
"They can expect my revenge.
"I'm not crazy when I say this, they are the crazy ones who give you hot sausages before the match when it's 40 degrees celsius outside."
