Bosnia unveils Bruce Lee bronze
A bronze of martial arts legend Bruce Lee has been erected in the Bosnian city of Mostar - a day before a second statue of him is unveiled in Hong Kong.
The life-size 1.68 metre statue depicts the Chinese-American actor in a typical defensive fighting position.

Hong Kong unveils its own statue of the kung-fu star on Sunday, at a ceremony to be attended by Lee's widow Linda.

The Mostar unveiling was attended by the ambassadors of China and Germany, both of whom assisted the project.

The city witnessed fierce fighting between rival ethnic factions in the 1992-95 war.

Symbol

It remains split with Bosnian Muslims, Croats and Serbs still deeply divided.

Lee was chosen by organisers as a symbol of the fight against ethnic divisions.

"We will always be Muslims, Serbs or Croats," said Veselin Gatalo of the youth group Urban Movement Mostar.

"But one thing we all have in common is Bruce Lee."

Lee, who died in 1973 at the age of 32, was born in the US but moved to Hong Kong as a child.

The statue there will be unveiled on what would have been the Enter the Dragon star's 65th birthday.
