Kosovo recently unveiled an 11-foot, 2000lb statue of former President Bill Clinton on Bill Clinton Boulevard in Pristina. The Guardian describes the statue as "sprayed with gold, with a left hand raised, a typical gesture of a leader greeting the masses. In his right hand he is holding documents engraved with the date when Nato started the bombardment of Serbia, 24 March 1999."

"I never expected that anywhere, someone would make such a big statue of me," Clinton said.|
