Bosnians to Build a Monument to Bruce Lee
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- In Bosnia, where one man's hero is often another man's villain, some citizens have decided to honor a man that Serbs, Croats and Muslims can all look up to -- kung fu great Bruce Lee.

Lee is best remembered for taking on dozens of bad guys in a series of kung fu films, including 1973's "Enter the Dragon."

But the statue of the Chinese action hero in the ethnically divided city of Mostar is intended to remind people of Lee's lesser known values -- "loyalty, friendship, skill and justice," said Veselin Gatalo, a writer who helped come up with the idea.

"Lee is a true international hero and is a hero to all ethnicities in Bosnia and that's why we picked him," Gatalo said.
