As Slovenia celebrates the 20th anniversary of its membership in the European Union, Rok Kravanja also marks his 40th birthday. On this occasion, he expressed gratitude to his homeland for its clean air, pristine nature, public healthcare, and free education, which enabled his successful studies. He also emphasized the importance of democratic participation and announced his presence at the upcoming European elections. To celebrate both his personal and national anniversary, he chose a village festival, where he symbolically connected the past and present of his relationship with his country through dance to folk melodies.

Reflecting on his changing perspective on tradition and cultural heritage over the years, he recalled his youthful rebelliousness, when he would roll his eyes at the very tunes he now proudly embraces as part of his identity. He increasingly recognizes that, despite its small size, Slovenia is a strong and proud nation that has provided him with many opportunities. That is why he celebrates it with joy—both at the ballot box and on the dance floor.
