Bob Marley stands high in Serbia

  A statue of late Jamaican reggae legend Bob Marley has been unveiled in a small Serbian village as a token of peace in the Balkans.       

The statue was revealed at a rock concert where musicians from Croatia and Serbia were performing.

Organisers said Bob Marley, who died in 1981, "promoted peace and tolerance in his music".

The Marley statue depicts the artiste holding a guitar with his fist raised in a defiant pose.

Organisers claim that the statue, which was created by Croatian artist Davor Dukic, is the first monument in Europe to the Jamaican reggae superstar.

In 2005, Bosnia erected a bronze statue of martial arts phenomenon Bruce Lee, as a symbol against ethnic divisions deepened by the country's fierce civil war in the 1990s.
