A statue of Bruce Lee was unveiled on 26 November 2005, in the city of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, by sculptor Ivan Fijolić.

Located in Zrinjevac City Park, the life-sized statue stands 1.68 m (5 ft 6 in) tall, shorter than Bruce Lee's actual height of 1.72 m (5 ft 8 in),[1] and was a symbol of solidarity in the ethnically-divided city until it was stolen in a heist on March 4, 2024, and was subsequently found albeit cut in pieces.

In a city that had been torn in war by ethnic divisions, the dynamic movie star was a symbol of "loyalty, skill, friendship, and justice."

Lee was "far [enough] away from us that nobody can ask what he did during World War II" and "part of our idea of universal justice–that the good guys can win".

"[4] The unveiling ceremony of the statue saw the attendance of local Bruce Lee fans, representatives of the German government, which had bankrolled the project, as well as Chinese officials.
