Luka Jovic remains adamant that he was unaware of how strict Serbia's quarantine instructions were after coming in for criticism for being spotted in the streets of Belgrade.
The Real Madrid forward was the subject of comments from the country's prime minister and president this week as he left his home to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday, but he insists that he didn't know that he was acting against the rules.
"As I already explained, I broke quarantine because I didn't know the rules," Jovic told Lens. "I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.
"In Spain and even in Italy you can go out to throw out your trash, to go to the pharmacy or to the shop, so I thought it was the same here.
"It's my fault for now knowing better, but I think it's important to explain things well especially to people who have come from abroad.
"Of course, I'm ready to accept the consequences of my actions."
Staying at home has proven to be a challenge for so many people around the world, and Jovic is no different.
"I try to do something different every day," Jovic said when asked how he was coping.
"It's not easy to be at home all the time because I'm used to training.
"I'm training at home every day now and I want to be ready to play when this ends.
"I've been watching movies and TV shows, I'm using social media and I've always loved board games so I have a lot and we play one every night."
Trying to stay positive, Jovic is thinking ahead to what he'll do once normality returns.
"The first thing I'll do is see my son and hug him," Jovic excitedly said.
"I wanted to come back to Belgrade to see him, but the situation means that I can't.
"That's the first thing I'll do and I'll also want to spend time with my family.
"I'd like to help my fellow citizens too, but I can't postpone returning to my club and I'll have to continue where I left off."

First if all, you are being really rude for no reason. Second of all I never asked you anything and I dont need to hear your response. Thirdly, you shouldnt be calling me a fool when you cant speak proper english and you dont make any sense.

u r a perfect example of a perfect fool..if u someday aren't carrying ur bike papers or forgot the same in home and police catches u in the way.. should they fine u or put u in jail?? as riding bike without papers is an illegal offence.if someday u unknowingly park ur bike or car in a place where parking is unavailable should cops fine u or put u in jail for this illegal offence?I can give u many more such instances but I hope these ll b enough for someone to understand if they have a bit of common sense.and if u don't have the common sense within u hundreds of examples ll b of no use.

leaving your house in a quarantine is illegal, and anything illegal is a crime by law.

so basically what you are saying. is that if criminals realize their mistakes, they dont have to go to jail?🤔

he said he should and is ready to face the consequences or punishment..he has the guts and humanity to realise his fault and accept the consequences.not every person can do dat..most of the guys r busy pointing fingers to others..u can only look at urself for an example.. every individual does mistakes..those who realise and accept the mistake never repeat the same mistake again.and those who r busy comparing and pointing fingers to others carry on with their mistakes throughout the life.

Mistakes happen but it's a global pandemic and lives of people are at risk. Not knowing rules shouldn't be an excuse.
