Stefan’s schooling in Serbia largely means that the Djokovic family, especially Jelena, will now have to spend most of her time in Serbia.

“Of course, they will still be with Dad whenever they can. But the rules will dictate Stefan’s obligations around school and Tarin’s kindergarten… Jelena is the one who has already instructed her son in the responsibilities he will have and what his life will look like when he steps into school on September 1,” added the source.
