Bill Clinton Boulevard is a boulevard located in Pristina, the capital and largest city of Kosovo. After the Kosovo War of 1998-1999, the Albanians in Kosovo wanted to thank the American President Bill Clinton for his help in their struggle with the government of the FR Yugoslavia. A 10-foot high statue of Clinton was unveiled on the boulevard on November 1, 2009, in a ceremony at which the former president spoke. A large 7.5 m (25 ft) banner of Clinton is placed up on an apartment block, bearing the text "Welcome to Bill Clinton Boulevard" on top, and the city's emblem in the lower right corner.
Elsewhere in Pristina, Kosovo has also named a central street after American President George W. Bush.
There are also several cities in Kosovo, including Prizren, with streets named after American President Woodrow Wilson.
