Statue of Bruce Lee, Bronze statue in Zrinjevac City Park, Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The statue depicts Bruce Lee in a fighting stance and stands in Zrinjevac Park on the western side of Mostar. The monument is a life-sized bronze figure that captures the martial arts legend in a dynamic pose.
The monument was unveiled on November 26, 2005, making it the first public Bruce Lee statue in the world at that time. Its installation marked a significant moment in the city's history and its connection to global popular culture.
The statue was conceived by the Mostar Urban Movement, a youth group led by Nino Raspudić and Veselin Gatalo, who chose Bruce Lee because "one thing we all have in common is Bruce Lee." They saw the martial arts star as a symbol of loyalty, skill, friendship and justice, values meant to bridge the city's ethnic divisions.
The statue sits in the public Zrinjevac Park and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can view the monument at any time since it stands freely outdoors and requires no entry arrangements.
The statue was the first public monument to Bruce Lee anywhere in the world, unveiled one day before a Hong Kong statue that marked what would have been Lee's 65th birthday. The Mostar project was initiated by the youth group Mostar Urban Movement, led by Nino Raspudić and Veselin Gatalo, and funded by the German government.
