kung fu hero to unite town
bruce lee is such a huge star in bosnia-herzegovina that they are going to erect a statue of him in the city of mostar. the city is ethnically divided, as muslims, serbs and croats live there. in the early and mid-90s there was much fighting between the residents, and the different ethnicities have been slow to reconcile. a group of huge bruce lee fans came up with the idea of building the statue because lee is a childhood hero of many of the residents of mostar and to them he represents justice and honesty.
the construction of the statue is being sponsored by a german organization, and this upcoming november, it will be erected in spanish square in the centre of mostar.
