The Springboks from South Africa won the Rugby World Cup final in Paris against the All Blacks from New Zealand with 12:11. In addition to numerous other celebrities such as Roger Federer and actor Jason Momoa, the Kosovar-British singer Rita Ora and the Serbian tennis superstar Novak Djokovic sat next to each other in the audience.
Videos and pictures show the two having a friendly conversation. When a camera pans towards her, the ATP world number 1 reacts quite surprised. The scene quickly made the rounds on social media. Many tennis fans and followers of the singer are irritated by the ongoing conflict between Serbia and Kosovo. Many people don’t understand how Ora, as Kosovo’s honorary ambassador, can watch the rugby final with Djokovic, who is known as a Serbian nationalist.
Fans are irritated by Rita Ora and Novak Djokovic
«You’re sitting down with Rita Ora? Novak, you have broken the hearts of every Serb,” and “Shame on you, Rita Ora” are just two of the angry voices on X that express the criticism of many. But in addition to the incomprehension of numerous users, the two superstars also received a lot of support from the community for their joint appearance. “This is exactly how you can achieve peace between Serbs and Albanians,” writes one user. Many people take the scene with humor: “A Serb and an Albanian woman talking. This is the Multiverse,” says another fan.
It was only at the end of August that Rita Ora angered many of her supporters because she waved the Serbian flag during a concert – by mistake, as it later turned out. Neither the singer nor the tennis player have yet commented on their joint visit to the rugby final in Paris.

Today, Kosovo, which has been independent since 2008, is almost exclusively populated by Albanians. Until 1999, the country belonged to Serbia, which oppressed the Albanian population. Ora was born Rita Sahatciu in 1990 in the Kosovo capital Pristina. Her family emigrated with her to Great Britain shortly after her birth. There are always tense situations between the two states of Serbia and Kosovo.
