Zurab Zhvania's star will be opened in front of the Council of Europe Palace in Strasbourg. The name of Zurab Zhvania and his famous phrase: "I am Georgian and therefore I am European" will be inscribed on the star.

The above phrase was pronounced by Zurab Zhvania at the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly 20 years ago, after the Assembly unanimously supported Georgia's accession to the Council of Europe.

"We are very proud that Zurab Zhvania's star will be opened in front of the Assembly Palace. The stars are normally opened for special people who have played a special role in the Council of Europe and it is a big event for us," said First Deputy Chairman of the Parliament, head of the parliamentary delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Tamar Chugoshvili.

The press service of the Parliament of Georgia spread the above information.
