Clinton memorial pleases Kosovan prime minister

A memorial for former US President Bill Clinton was unveiled in a ceremony on Sunday in Pristina, capital of Kosovo. The daily Sega analyses the newly erected memorial against the background of communal elections in November: "The US and Clinton are held in high esteem in Kosovo. The US flag is seen just as often as the Kosovan flag. One little detail is that this monument is less an expression of Kosovan love [for Clinton], than just another traditional Balkan pre-election trick: Communal elections will take place on November 15, and Clinton's visit somehow helps the ruling party of Hashim Thaçi [Prime Minister of Kosovo]. The basic message: 'Clinton is with me, so vote for my party'."
