According to information provided by a digital search engine instead of white paper, the distance from Kosovo and Metohija to Nepal is 5,958 kilometers. Why is this piece of information so precious, beautiful, and why does it connect these places so close to the heavens? Who would have thought that a blood-red peony would shine on the lapel of a cyclist, Dragan Šibalić…

Dragan Šibalić, from Serbia, reached Nepal by bicycle. The final destination: Mount Everest, 8,849 meters above sea level. Or, if you prefer, in height.

Dragan Šibalić “rides” toward the highest peak in the world, with a heavenly peony by his heart, passing the baton to Zoran Pavlović. The tricolor and the peony, hand in hand, are conquering the farthest corners of the Earth.

And this heavenly flower will “spread its fragrance” on the Earth’s Cap of the Sky.

Dragan, may you be healthy and alive, and may you always carry the peony with you!
