BELGRADE (AFP) - Serbias world number three tennis player Jelena Jankovic was on Thursday appointed a national ambassador of the United Nations Childrens Fund.
"I am happy to have become a UNICEF ambassador for Serbia. This is a great honour for me and I will try to justify the role that has been given to me," Jankovic told a Belgrade press conference.
"I am motivated by the idea of promoting a healthy lifestyle for young people," she added.
Jankovic is the second Serbian tennis star to have volunteered to help promote the rights of children and collect funds for UNICEF after Ana Ivanovic, the worlds fourth-ranked player, became an ambassador in September.
