Clooney and Stone have announced they will organize a protest against the unilateral declaration of Kosovo's independence, and Gere and Connery could do the same after them.
Gere will be involved in this action because he is very suspicious about why the major forces are so bent on granting independence to Kosovo. "There must be something about that Kosovo, since they are so bent on seizing it," Gere said.
The most famous James Bond, Sir Sean Connery, reacted in a similar manner. He immediately connected the situation around Kosovo to his native Scotland.
"During its history, Scotland has had far more grounds to be granted independence, but it was not allowed to secede. What could possibly be the difference between my homeland and Kosovo, to create such a precedent now," the celebrated actor wondered.
