Sochi, the Russian city that will host the 2014 Winter Olympics, has been chosen as the venue for an international peace and sport conference in 2012. The decision was announced Wednesday at the opening in Monaco of the 2009 Peace and Sports International Forum, whose patron is Prince Albert. He is also a member of the International Olympic Committee. The Monaco event was attended by a high-level delegation from Sochi 2014, including Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak. Kozak said the 2012 conference will "promote Olympic and Paralympic values across political and business circles both in Russia and internationally."
