Bij de wederopbouw van Europa na de Tweede Wereldoorlog ging men ervan uit dat door de onderlinge economische afhankelijk- heid oorlogen in Europa voortaan zouden worden voorkomen. Maar zesenveertig jaar na het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog en vierendertig jaar na de oprichting van wat nu de Europese Unie is, werden buren in steden en dorpjes tegen elkaar opgehitst met een ontstellend bloedbad tot gevolg, een slachtpartij waarover een tribunaal van de Verenigde Naties oordeelde dat er deels sprake van volkerenmoord was.

  • Media Release Monday 17 November 2008
    media release Monday 17 November 2008 Double trouble comes to Brisbane There will be two Djokovic’s playing in Brisbane this January, Brisbane International organisers announced today. The recently crowned Masters Cup champion, Novak Djokovic will be joined by his younger brother, Marko Djokovic, in the doubles for the first time on Australian soil. The pair will join reigning French Open women’s champion Ana Ivanovic and ATP world number seven Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at what is shaping up as a star-studded inaugural event. Other confirmed contenders are Na Li and Daniela Hantuchova in the women’s draw, Marcos Baghdatis, Gael Monfils, Richard Gasquet and Mardy Fish in the men’s draw and the world number one doubles pair Cara Black and Liezel Huber. More announcements are expected to be made before the player cut off date on the 21 November. Brisbane International Tournament Director Steve Ayles said “Novak will use the event as a key component in the preparation for his Grand Slam title defense while Marko is keen for the experience of top level tennis. “It will be a great opportunity for all tennis fans to see the pair in action and with last weekend marking 50 days out from the start of the tournament there is no better time to snap up some tickets,” Ayles said. Marko Djokovic first appeared on the junior ITF circuit in September 2006. Best known for a similar technique to that of his brother and for his cheering in the player box at the Australian Open 2008 , Marco made his ATP tour debut in September this year where he received a wild card entry into the main draw of the Thailand Open.
