Bill Clinton Statue Unveiled In Kosovo

Former President Gets Hero's Welcome

PRISTINA, Kosovo (Nov. 1) - Thousands of ethnic Albanians braved low temperatures and a cold wind in Kosovo's capital Pristina to welcome former President Bill Clinton on Sunday as he attended the unveiling of an 11-foot (3.5-meter) statue of himself on a key boulevard that also bears his name.
Clinton is celebrated as a hero by Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority for launching NATO's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999 that stopped the brutal Serb forces' crackdown on independence-seeking ethnic Albanians.


Officials in Pristina, Kosovo, unveiled an 11-foot statue of former President Bill Clinton on Sunday. Many ethnic Albanians admire him for his role in stopping the Serbian crackdown on their bid for independence 10 years ago.

@Skylersss He fuckhead, if you were fighting for freedom and against terrorism, then WHY DID YOU SLAUGHTER 8000 CIVILIANS IN SREBRENICA? If you were supporters of anti-terrorism, why didn't you let Bosnia&Herzegovina be? You serbians are a very very sick people, not all of you though! Some retarded faschists like you! Don't you realize you have been brainwashed under a propaganda? The entire world knows why Milosevich killed muslims, it was of ethnical background and don't deny it!
