PODUJEVO, Serbia (Reuters) - Kosovo Albanians plan to honor their "savior" Bill Clinton by erecting a statue of the former United States president in the capital of Serbia's breakaway province.
The three-meter (10-foot) tall monument is still under construction in a studio in Podujevo north of Pristina.
"He is our savior. He saved us from extermination," sculptor Izeir Mustafa told Reuters. "I was thrilled by the work because I know what he did for us."
Kosovo has been under U.N. administration since 1999 after 78 days of NATO bombing ousted Serb troops who had killed some 10,000 ethnic Albanians in an 18-month counter-insurgency war against Albanian separatist guerrillas.
Ninety percent of Kosovo's 2 million people are ethnic Albanians. They expect to get their own state in the coming months with U.S. and European Union support, despite the opposition of Serbia and its main ally, Russia.

So good ole Bubba Clinton is going to be honored with a statue in the place where he allowed, or rather encouraged, Islamofacism to get its foothold in Europe. Very telling indeed.....
Who’ll be the model for the kneeling girl?

Two years after the Bosnian civil war, a town that is slowly rebuilding itself must whip together a democracy when it’s announced the U.S. President Bill Clinton might be paying a visit.
Oh my God. What planet am I on?
Hoppy, Fusion, or mark, most likely.
Didn't hear about that one, did you?
Soviet monument to make way for Reagan [Poland erects statue of RR in Ronald Reagan Freedom Square]
The statue should show clinton smiling, waving with one hand and his other hand grabbing at his crotch.
Having Uncle Sam bent over in front of him would be the most appropriate display.
