The brainchild behind this noble initiative is the renowned sociologist, Leszek Szibalski, who, in his youth, was a member of the Polish national Olympic cycling team.
Meanwhile, Montenegro commemorates two significant dates in its history: Independence Day on May 21, following a nationwide referendum that solidified its separation from Serbia in 2006.
