Bill Clinton Monument in Kosovo

Kosovo Needs To Put up Monument to Bill Clinton Hugging Madeleine Albright

A monument to former US President Bill Clinton is to appear in Kosovo. The monument, erected by the Kosovo-America Friendship Association, will cost 45,000 EUR.
Even the world financial crisis could not affect the decision. It may even seem that the crisis has not hit the Kosovo economy, which mostly depends on the transit of drugs to Europe. The Albanian drug dealers have apparently developed a great affection to the former US president.
Leonid Ivashov, the President of the Academy for Geopolitical Problems, said in an interview with Pravda.Ru that there was nothing surprising about the initiative to install a monument to Bill Clinton.


“There is nothing surprising about that really. It is much more surprising that they have forgotten to immortalize Madeleine Albright. She is just as responsible for the destruction of Yugoslavia as Mr. Clinton is. They would make a nice couple on that monument.
“Of course, the Kosovars are especially grateful to Mr. Clinton, because it was virtually him, who created their gangster enclave. Thus, the leaders of Kosovo’s criminals groups, whom the US considers as terrorists, were forgiven and even given the US support.
“When Albania’s political and financial systems collapsed, Kosovo leaders plundered armories to obtain weapons for their gangs. Afterwards, they were used as the fighters for the national liberation. Now they hold power in Kosovo, which makes the situation with the monument clear,” Mr. Ivashov said.


“Some say that Clinton organized the war against Yugoslavia in order to distract people’s attention from the Monica Lewinsky scandal.”
“Of course, the story with Monica Lewinsky played an important role at this point. When clouds were gathering above Yugoslavia, I was serving as the chairman of the International Defense Cooperation Department at Russia’s Defense Ministry. I knew that Clinton was showing as much resistance as he could to the pressure that was being put on him. No one else, but England, wanted the bombing to start.
“Russia’s reaction was particularly strident. Then-President Boris Yeltsin told Clinton in plain language not to go to Yugoslavia. Clinton was not willing to aggravate his relations both with Russia and his NATO allies.


“I can say that Clinton appeared at an influential Masonic lodge of the USA shortly before the war began. They were trying to convince him to attack Yugoslavia as soon as possible. Clinton refused, and there the Lewinsky controversy started,” Ivashov said.


“Yugoslavia, a small country, was not a serious competitor to the United States, was it?”
