Georgia, Tbilisi, Dec. 27 / Trend N.Kirtzkhalia /
The Tbilisi City Assembly, Sakrebulo, will on Monday consider renaming the Bagdati Street after the late American diplomat, Richard Holbrooke.
Earlier, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili appealed to the Tbilisi Sakrebulo with this initiative and expressed hope that it will be understood and supported. Saakashvili also issued a decision to posthumously award Holbrooke with the Saint George Victory Order for promoting peace and democracy throughout the world.
The Baghdati Street located near the Isani metro station was selected as the street to be named after Holbrooke.
Holbrooke died at the age of 70 in Washington this week from aortic rupture. He is best known for his part in signing the Dayton Agreements in 1995, which ended the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Today the Tbilisi Sakrebulo also intends to rename the Stalin Street in Tskneti to Prince Amilahvari Street.
