The father of tennis player Jelena Dokic will face a retrial on the charges that he threatened the Australian ambassador to Serbia.

Damir Dokic was sentenced to 15 months in jail in June, but a retrial was ordered because ambassador Claire Birgin did not testify in person during the original hearing. She was as instead represented by a lawyer.

Mr Dokic, 50, was brought under police escort to the court in Ruma, a town about 30 miles northwest of Belgrade.

"We expect justice from the court and that Damir will be a free man," Bosiljka Djukic, Mr Dokic's lawyer, said before the court proceedings started.
