“I assume that we will vote for it on February 24,” RIA Novosti quoted the head of Prague, Zdenek Grzyba.

He specified that the voting date was chosen in such a way as to have time to hold the ceremonial of the grand opening of the board with a new name on the anniversary of the murder of the politician.

The head of the capital added that in his opinion in Russia this should not be taken as a provocation.

In March 2019, a square named after Boris Nemtsov was opened near the building of the Russian Embassy in Kiev.
