Man worship seems to be staging a comeback. The old statues of horrible dictators were pulled down and the world breathed a seigh of relief. Now this man worship is raising it's ugly head once again. Evil deeds begets high praise in this twisted world.

When will they be unveiling the Clinton statue in Serbia? Oh thats right, Clinton launched unprovoked attacks against Serbia curtesy of the US taxpayers and the money printing press to choose sides in a conflict that was none of our business. It is disturbing to see a piece of human debris like Clinton celebrated in any way. They won't be errecting any statues of Bill Clinton in Waco Texas.

They should start a riot and tear down the statue. He does not deserve to have a statue their after all the pointless bloodshed he has caused.

The statue of Clinton in Albania is perhaps the most fitting symbol of US infamy committed in that part of the world.

A fitting symbol. As the Kosovo's hundreds of churches and monasteries were destroyed, drug trafficking flourished, human trafficking and organ harvesting in full swing, and the ruling elite in Pristina up to their eyeballs in all this crime --- the man who created this dusty outpost of the empire is celebrated. The fact that he actually accepted this, being oblivious to the implications, is mind boggling. I supposed he and his class believe we are all a bunch of fools who cannot find Kosovo on the map.

Clinton is the only President of the last 2-3 decades who has done so much for the world, and mostly for us in US, that noone can complain. If any other president should deserve his face-statue close to the other four presidents at Mount Rushmore, he should be Bill Clinton. And I understand well that people of Kosovo loves him so much as he was as much savior for them. If anyone has other opinions about it, than they do not know either Clinton or Kosovo and its people.

People you are refering to on Kosovo its not "its people" its all Albanians, so how can Albanians be its ppl when there is Albania with its ppl. Albania conquered Kosovo with help of Clinton and US and thats why they built the statue.

@Marco Yes he has! He let international Islamic terrorist and organised crime with full compliance with the CIA and other western intelligence get a foothold in Europe, create a European wide drug and sex trafficking network in every major European country that funds these jihadist terrorist groups and every major terrorist attack in Europe and 9/11 is traced back to Bosnia. Head of the SDA Bosnian political party partially created by the CIA transfered money to Atta in the US. Also mention how the CIA helped Taliban come to power in Afghanistan as well as helping Jihadists in Russia, Central Asia, China and around the world. Bravo Bill Clinton.!

Is Clinton really all that bad? Willie not Hillary. I thougtht he did disgrace his country while holding the office of president and was very sleasy in his response and lies about his affair with an intern in the oval office of the white house, but isn't this sort of thing common among politicians. He must have done something good while holding high office. He did miss the opportunity to serve his country during the VIETNAM WAR, but many young rich kids also evaded the draft and George W. Bush never had to go in harms way during that war, so he was not the only draft dodger of the Vietnam War. Obama never chose to serve his country by being a member of the Armed Forces. So, Clinton is not all that different from. other politicians

Am I naive in thinking that the Albanians in Kosovo (a province of Serbia), should return to their own country Albania (next door)? I was recently, in September 2009, on the Greek island of Santorini and was talking to a woman shopowner there , and she told me that in recent times they have had a lot of Albanians coming to live there , and there has been a big increase in burglaries and thefts there and people were saying that it was the Albanians doing it as it started when they arrived . Of course it would be unfair to say that all Albanians or any other ethnic group are all thieves but I know that the Albanians had a bad reputation for being anti-social in Yugoslavia when I visited there in the 1970s, and I saw some examples of their violent behaviour against cars on the hiighway on the outskirts of the town of Pec when I was driving through. Fortunately I had been warned about it by a man who had driven through there the year before and my car's windscreen was not smashed and my car not damaged because I drove too fast between the large groups of people on both sides of the highway throwing large rocks at the cars, to be able to hit my car..Many tourists had their windscreens smashed. I think it was an attempt to close the highway or to stop tourists ?.
