Serbian Rock Art

A Bob Marley statue has just been unveiled in a Serbian village of all places, as a token of peace in the Balkans.The statue, by Croatian artist Davor Dukic, was erected in the town of Banatski Sokolac at midnight.It depicts the Rastafarian holding a guitar, with his fist raised in defiance.And if you think this is the first pop culture icon to be bronzed in Serbia you would be mistaken. Other nearby villages can also boast statues of  Johnny Weissmuller (doing a Tarzan) and Sylvester Stallone (doing a Rocky Balboa).The Stalone statue was deliberately chosen in attempt to stop the  village’s run of bad luck ,basically the locals thought the town was jinxed (Gosh, it’s not like Stalone’s had any luck lately?). But not to be out done Bosnia has one of Bruce Lee.
