　　BELGRADE, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Serbian President Boris Tadic on Tuesday awarded the country's superstar tennis player Novak Djokovic with the Gold Star of Karadjordje, the highest state honor medal, for his "exceptional merits in the representation of Serbia."

　　Tadic called Djokovic the "best ambassador" of Serbia, according to a presidential press release.

　　This will be the first time the Star of Karadjordje was awarded since it was discontinued by the leadership of Yugoslavia after World War II.

　　The decoration was first established in 1904 by King Peter and reintroduced in 2010.

　　Karadjordje established the modern Serbian state and led the first successful uprising against the Ottoman Empire in 1804. He was the founder¹ of the Serbian royal family.
