PRISTINA, Serbia (AFP) — A group of Kosovo Albanians [muslims] appealed Tuesday for donations after they ran out of money to build a statue of former US president Bill Clinton.
"With this act we will express sympathy, love and respect to president Clinton," Agim Rexhepi, head of the Friends of America association, told reporters.
The three-metre (10-foot) tall monument is still under construction in a studio in the city of Podujevo, 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of the Kosovan capital Pristina.
"The main work that remained unfinished is casting the statue in bronze. It can only be done outside of Kosovo," said sculptor Izeir Mustafa.
According to Mustafa's estimates, the work to sculpt the statue and cast it in bronze would cost between 60,000 and 70,000 euros (85,000 and 100,00 dollars).
Pristina already has a Bill Clinton Boulevard, which is graced by a 7.5-metre (25 feet) high mural of the former US leader.
Clinton is admired among Kosovo's ethnic Albanians for his support of their struggle to separate from Serbia.
The project to erect a statue in his honour on one of the squares along the thoroughfare was approved by local authorities earlier this year.
Will the image have the power to speak?
Never mind, that’s the Hillary statue...
PEZ dispenser?
“Mama, what’s that lady doing in the statue with that half-roll of dimes coming out of the man in the statue’s tummy ?”

A tall pile of rich manure should do just fine
I hear that, to save costs, they’re planning to cut off little willie!
LMAO,
now thats funny right there
I don’t care who ya’ are....[Larry the Cableguy]
I am sure that many will join me in celebrating the friendship between the Clinton Administration and those quaint and colorful Albanian Muslims. BTW, if it turns out that the commemorative Clinton Statue is too expensive in bronze, I suggest lead. Hot lead.
Drop a lead one in China. I think they are short on lead since they ship it to all our countries.
Buy a used one of Saddam on e-bay and have it remodeled
::laughing!::
Cast the statue of Bubba as a fireplug and install on a main street.
Sounds good to me.....LOL.
Agreed - they could save some money and be more accurate to boot if they cast it with his pants around his ankles..
