Here we go to 2011 year.

Yes - little bit too late, but have an reason, probably all dealers with Serbia stamp, will have same reason with be late - it is "Jugomarka" fault at all! Why "Jugomarka"? Because this company, and complete staff of it, allowed someone from politician, to "press" it, and "Jugomarka" are closed, filled for bankruptcy (?), eliminated and "reborn" on new name - "Serbiamarka"! My personal opinion about it are very

negative - simple say: "Who are shame of own past - didn't

deserve future"!

Let's talk about stamp:

1-2011 - "Preserve Polar":

I don't think that this issue deserve any compliment! It is so poorly designed that I can say just "shame"! And more than that - to start year with so poor design is not good omen. What we have is one m/s with two stamp, face value of 112 dinar, not cheap at all - on marked will cost around 1.68 euro, knowing exchange rate - it will be out of reach for USA market! Issued on May 31, 2011.

2-2011 - "Lunar Horoscope":

Little bit better design than previous issue, but not something to made "joy" in collectors heart! It is one set, issued on Feb. 7, 2011, that will cost You

around 1.43 euro in local dealer. Probably will have better rating than first issue, but it will be just because topic alone - not because design.

3-2011 - "International Telecommunication Union":

Issued to celebrate Serbian membership from 1866 year - nice to know and remember! When I see stamp alone, have an different feeling than when I see sheet of 8+1 stamp - it is much different picture, probably to better! Single stamp, that will cost You some 0.85 euro in shop, but You will easy find it around Phila Forum for exchange (if You have something to offer). Issued on Feb. 9, 2011.

4-2011 - "Art and Judaica":

Finally arrived first better design this year, where we have 4 stamp in set. Issue come out on Feb. 25, 2011 - to celebrate 100 year of birth artist Bora Baruh, artist with very sad family history, that ended in WWII period. Jew by nationality, executed in Jajinci prison. Worth to mention, that he lived in France, but "Serbian brother" - French - expelled him from France(political reason). Like I mentioned, set have 4 stamp, high face value, will cost You 3.10 euro, but for set of 4 FDC prepare much-much more!

5-2011 - "100 year Music School":

One single stamp to celebrate 100 year of "Stankovic" music school. Not so bad design, but hardly important from collectors view. Probably just topic "music on stamp" will fit, or probably also "Architecture" - we will see. face value are minimum in dinar, and from dealer You will need to pay some 0.41 euro, not expensive for one stamp. Issued on march 15, 2011.

6-2011 - "Easter":

Set of two stamp, well made - I can say, that it can be included also to "Art" topic, and probably also to "Icons", because one of stamp is fragment from icon (1818-1820 year). two stamp in set, with face value of 112 and 22 dinar - yes, expensive - but worth! Issued on march 25, 2011 to celebrate Easter this year. Like usually it is religious motifs there, and FDC are also nice done work.

7-2011 - "Serbian National Theatre 150 yr":

I will not say "ugly", but can be done much-much better for this important institution and celebration. What to do - if nothing else, printing was done in good way by Forum Printing Plant. Again, single stamp with minimal face value, prepare 0.41 euro for it.

Postage due 1-2011 - "Cancer, Avala Tower":

Here like usually, I don't have any other information than that what i see on stamp, and it is "fight cancer" from set that is coming every year, and second stamp have really important memory. Second stamp with picture of "Avala Tower" are great work of Serbian people and country alone. It is rebuilt from "floor" after NATO bombardment and destruction of civilian object during last Yugoslavia civil war. Still no one from NATO countries are not charged in court for this act that present us with great barbarian way of life today! Probably it fit in "New World Order" like someone call today's democracy! I recommend it for all collection to be included!

Face value are also not minimal, if we know that minimal face value inland mail is 22 dinar, and this "Avala" stamp are valued 44 - it is really good money, hope that it will go to finance this project, that many artist and people around world donated to rebuild. translate it to 1.01 euro for this two stamp.

5-2010 "Olympic Committee of Serbia":

issued on Feb. 23, 2010, with one single stamp issued to celebrate this occasion, one nice jubilee that no many countries around globe have. Design are little bit more "modern" than need - because many "simple" collectors and ordinary people will visually decide about "worth or worth-not" stamp, and this design have number "100" in very "fragile" manner shown! But - probably other people will like it. Like I told, one stamp, face value low, around 0.30 US$, comfortable for any collector with sport topic.

6-2010 "World Expo Shanghai 2010":

Great! you can not see it well here, because I made just 300 dpi scan, but if You need better scan - just ask me, I will send it to You - on sheet of 10 stamp, You can see great detail of design, visual effect, artist work well done - this issue can be in many topic, starting from architecture to art, artist really made "hard work" for this issue! Issued on Feb 26, 2010, to celebrate World Expo in Shanghai, P. R. of China - and it is 110 yr of first Expo presentation of Serbia! Not bad for one small country - You agree? Here we have set of two stamp, face value of 1.05 US$ also affordable for collectors worldwide - yes, dealer will ask more, even more for sheet of 10 stamp - but, it is just for specialized collectors, who will need more that 20.00$ to buy this sheet of 10. I think - it is worth!

7-2010 "Frederic Chopin":

200 yr of birth, famous, great, and here it stop - what he have common with Serbia? Nothing - but, philately will ask to do it - I, in principle agree - but not "must be" for one country to issue it. Let's see which mistake existed on back of FDC - there is one explanation, that this great man are born in Poland and after that come statement that this first western composer to incorporate Slavic element!!?? Let's be nice - if he is born in Poland, he can not be western composer - he can be just and just eastern composer, say what You want - fact is fact. Single stamp, face value 0.68$ - affordable, but dealer will take more!

8-2010 "Easter":

I like it - every single year they show us nice stamp and nice topic, that fit in "fresque" or "icon" topic. Two stamp in set, nice design, nice work - keep it in collection! face value at 0.93 $ - probably not for investment, but for collection is worth. Issued on March 2, 2010 - hope that Serbian Post will continue with nice design.

9-2010 "160 yr Military academy":

Again one good celebration, not just good but important! Design can fit to "Flag on Stamp", "Coat of Arms", not bad at all design! One stamp, face value of 0.30 $ affordable - I think that it will never reach "important" status in catalogue - but will fit in any serious collection! date of issue is March 18, 2010.

Postage Due 2-2010:

Here I can not say lot, just that it is "Anti-Cancer", like usually every year - no date of issue, and hardly that dealer will give You without 0.50$.

Now I need to go - today is Independence Day of Israel (April 19, 2010 - 62 year of Israel) - and out is great celebration - children will like it and go for joy!

8-2009: Art - issued on April 6, 2009 - They chose to celebrate three artist from Serbia, with three stamp in set, each artist have one main work.

Start with low denomination, 22.00 dinar, it is 100th Ann. of birth artist Milena Pavlovic Barilli. She was daughter of Italian composer Bruno Barilli. This stamp show us main work named "Self Portrait with a veil", from 1939 yr.

Second value of 46.00 dinar is work of Jovan Bijelic, celebrating 125th yer of birth. Stamp is his art work named "Dead Nature with Parrot" - and third value is also 46.00 dinar, with art work of Paja Jovanovic, work named "The Young Woman in Pink Dress". This three stamp in set have an 1.62 $ face value, but on market it will come almost to 3-3.50 euro, depending on who sell and where, Design of three FDC (3-7.00 euro market prices) are even more better done than stamp alone, and if You wish to invest - buy sheet of 10 (valued around 35.00 euro).

9-2009: "Universiade sport event" - issued on March 31, 2009 - to commemorate sport event "Universiada" - that are held in Belgrade this summer. Sport event start on 1-12th July and have one record of athlete from 170 countries and 200 disciplines. Two stamp in series, with logo and mascot of event, nice artist design, but I can say - little bit childish art work for this importance. Set of two have an face value of 22.00 + 46.00 dinar, that is around 1.00 $, but again, dealer will charge You minimum 2.00 euro. Both stamp can be included in many topic - from athletics, tennis, basketball and other sport, and for FDC prepare 2-4.00 euro, sheet of 8+tab will take from You 15-18.00 euro.

10-2009: "EUROPA - Astronomy" - Here I will shout: "Thanks SERBIA for this nice issue"!! One of best that I can see around all countries in Europe. Issued on May 5, 2009 with two stamp, face value of 46.00+50.00 dinar (little bit more expensive but still affordable) - it is around 1.37 $ - but hardly that You will have it from dealer for less than 2-3.00 euro! Reason? Here is it - quantity printed is just 60 000 set (just less than 9 000 sheet of 8), think that most dealer will subscribe for more than 50 set of this issue, which will result in shortage on market. Who was that statue on stamp? Goddess URANIA, protector of Astronomy, and on other stamp we have Galileo's telescope and Milky Way, radio-telescope and nebula Horse Head. Quantity printed is around "middle" of practice that Serbia have, less than that quantity have just issue of less importance (28 000), and more important issue (for Serbian Authority) have quantity printed of 528 000 maximum. Why they decided to print just 60 000 pieces - I think because prices (higher value) and also to keep future catalogue value, that will constantly rise because of demand. For FDC prepare more than 4.00 euro, and sheet of 8+tab will cost You darly - 25-30.00 euro depending of dealer. I can suggest You just one simple way - if You have trading partner, exchange partner - take it twice You need - because if You will go to dealer - You are finished!

5-2009: Ecology - Joint issue with Bulgaria, issued 2/III/2009, with two stamp in set and one block (of same two stamp), one nice paiting, I can not say that it is not, but I can say, that existed many other way to make this issue more better than is now. It is drawing, it is far away from painting or art. Face value for this set and block is around 0.75 euro, sheet of 10 will made it 15.00 euro and FDC from Serbia only will cost You 1.72 euro, but FDC with Bulgarian issue will be hardly available around market.

6-2009: Easter issue, dated 9/III/2009, I will not use hard word, but it is one ugliest that I have in stock! WHY to downgrade quality that was in good shape? WHY to use this wood carving instead of beautiful Icons that existed around Serbian Monastery in Serbia? Probably someone didn't like when Serbia go to upper scale with quality and decided to damage little bit! Face value is same like previous issue just 0.75 euro, but hardly that it will reach this prices in any future catalogue - simple vasting!!!

7-2009: Great Serbian Artis, dated 17/III/2009, with 6 stamp in set. According dimension of stamp, it look like that economy in Serbia is improving, they have money to print stamp on "label" dimension, and to be fair also in "label" design! Nothing worth to say, no quality or artist imagination show here. Face value are in lower scale, just 1.87 euro per set, but loking for quality, I think that it is too much!

Postage Due 2-2009: Standard issue for Anti-Cancer, probably someone will made collection just with this small size stamp, it can be nice and cheap, because postage due have an face value of 0.10 euro, but it is all.
