A Serbian village erecting a statue to reggae superstar
Bob Marley? Sure, why not? A Bosnian town with a statue of kung-fu legend
Bruce Lee? Hell, yeah! And how 'bout, say, a Serbian monument to
Rocky? Er, well.. ok. But the British Museum displaying what they say is the largest gold statue built since ancient Egypt, of...
Kate Moss? Um... I dunno. I prefer the Russian monument to
the enema.

...“To be honest, I get sick every time I tell someone I am from Mostar [in Bosnia] and they ask me whether I am from the east or west side of the city (the city is divided into the Bosniak east side and the Croat west side),” said Nino Raspudic. “
That is one of the reasons for building a statue of Bruce Lee. We are hoping that someone in the future will say: “I knew Mostar. That is the city with the Bruce Lee statue. If we succeed in that, then I can retire.”
