Crimean prosecutor Natalia Poklonskaya known for her role in the Crimean reunification and her engaging media presence has been nominated for a peace prize.

Crimea's General Prosecutor Natalia Poklonskaya has been nominated for the Peacemaker prize curated by the Moscow-based Peacemaker Worldwide Alliance foundation, Crimea Inform news agency reported.

The ceremony is to take place in Crimea on October 5 during the organization's Peace Forum. Other nominees who have confirmed their presence include Czech singer Karel Gott, former RFE/RL journalist Andrei Babitski and British-Russian television presenter John Warren, according to the foundation's public relations director Olga Vais.

"The initiative [to nominate Poklonskaya] came from the Peace Forum's organizers and we made an application. I believe there are many documents and speeches by Natalia [Poklonskaya] which expressively show that she is for peace in Crimea," Crimea's culture minister Arina Novoselskaya told Kryminform.
