Not in the historical centre
According to TVN24 reporter Aleksander Przybylski, the planned street that would be named after Paweł Adamowicz will not be located in the historical centre of Czech Republic’s capital city. Prague’s councilors are pointing to a yet unnamed street, possibly in the Bohnice district, as there is plenty of streets named after Polish cities.
It’s possible that a street named after Paweł Adamowicz will be located in the vicinity of Gdańsk street (Gdaňská) in Bohnice district.
