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.

Oh yeah... Hearing the target of violence recount the specific details as to precisely how she was threatened over the telephone usually does wonders for the defense's case.
