9-2017 and up

9-2017 "Cities of Serbia":

Set of three stamps, dated April 13, 2017, will show us three of it. 
Capital of Serbia - Belgrade,
Capital of Serbian Autonomy of Vojvodina - Novi Sad,
Regional city of Nis.
I think, that this set are very good by design, where main element of city are shown in very clear way. (MA Boban Savic, academic painter)
Three stamps, each with under $ face value, will make one very nice item in any collection, as it is represented by few topic in Philately, as History, Architecture, and on FDC and CM even much better visible are fortress of this cities.




10-2017 "Belgrade Marathon":

Single stamp issued on April 21, 2017. Very low face value of 0.23 $, but also in no so very attractive design. On stamp we see runner, bridge of Belgrade, great church of S. Sava and Kalemegdan fortress. 
Belgrade marathon is held for the last thirteen years, and known around world as one of "must be".


11-2017 "Flora":

What to say? Just one really GREAT issue by design! This time, artist (Miroslav Nikolic), made it PERFECT! Clearly visible element of any fruit shown (Pear, Plum, Apple, Walnut), than in very fine balanced colors, You will have feeling that it is almost natural! Sheet composition is as usually, 5 sets in sheet, with gutter on middle of sheet. Face value for set of four are affordable 2.00 $ per set, but in this sheet composition You will need little bit more than 12.00 $ per sheet. Date of issue are April 24, 2017, in full Spring time!
Highly recommended to any collectors of Fauna.



12-2017 "Serbian Literary Cooperative":

One stamp, issued April 28, 2017. celebrating 125 years of this Cooperative, with very nice design. As I'm printing plant technician by profession, I like this initials used on design. Really nice to see also information talking about this Cooperative, which was established in 1892 year.


13-2017 "EUROPA":

As usually, on beginning of May, every year, come to market EUROPA issues. This year, topic was CASTLES, and Serbia made choice of two. One come from city of Smederevo, and second come from Maglič. Even on FDC we have shown one from Monastery Resava. One really complete composition, to show us beauty of Serbia. 
face value are little bit high, for two stamps You will need 1.80 $, and if You chose sheet of eight with gutter on middle, that will cost You more than 22.00 $, so, find best deal with Your stamp dealer, who can make (probably) some better deals than You have on web auctions or eBay.

2-1013 and up

2-2013 "Museum":

Issued on 20/II/2013 under name of "Museum Exhibits" of 50 year of the Historical Museum of Serbia.
I'm glad that Serbian Post still keep very good design on almost all issues. This one have motif of "The Gospel of King Aleksandar Obrenovic" and second stamp is with "the Crown of King Petar I Karadjordjevic", few really valuable items in Museum!

Two stamp in set, that is not so high face value (near 1.00 $), but - because popularity of this topic, it will have good standing on market, and what I see as now, it is asking prices of 1.81 $ per set of 2. Just if You will want also sheet of 9+gutter, prepare much-much more.


3-2013 "Easter":

like usually, religious motif, that come from frescoes (icons) of monastery church Most Holy Theotokos, in Sicevo Gorge, near city of Nis (Nish). 
If You examine it more patiently, you will find one really masterpiece of this Icon, and design of FDC is even more better - together, it will fit every serious collection!
Set of two value, affordable face value, and probably on market will go for around 1.60 $, per set.
Issued on 1/III/2013.


4-2013 "Art - Musicians":

I don't know why, but I still don't like this design! Serbian Post have same design in this "opus" for long time, and - even that comparing it with other countries, is not good, I must to say, that it is designed far away of quality that China made for Beethoven issue!

Here we come with issue from 4/III/2013, three value in set with portrait of Richard Wagner (1813-1883), Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) and local one Oskar Danon (1913-2009).

This set can be included also in "Judaica" Topical collection, because Oskar Danon (Jew), but also in "personalities", "music on stamp" and some more.

Face value for this set is more of 1.33$, and on market will probably reach some 2-3.00 $ per set.


5-20013 "History":

Simple to say: "GREAT"! Starting year with good issue are very commendable! 
What they celebrate? 1700 years of Edict of Milan!
Most people (and pupils) around world  will ask: "...what f*****g 1700 year?"!
Nothing that need to be forgotten!!!!!

At this time but "...this edict made Christian religion equal with other religions in the area of Empire, and condition were acquired so few decades later...".

Bad to know? Probably not!
Set of one single stamp and one m/s, isse come out at the 4/IV/2013, face value very near of 2.00 $, market have it from start on 3.81 $, and not so available around.
M/S will go to topic of "maps, compass, Italy, adriatic, seal/signet"  and design of FDC of stamp are one masterpiece!



6-2013 "Red Cross 150 year":

Issue come out on 8/V/2013, single stamp, design that didn't impress me at all, I can say "poor", missing idea or what, I don't know.
Important to remember, yes, but it have feeling like "homework for first class pupils" - but, because topic, will have good rating in market - nothing more than that!

Single stamp with face value less than $, will be offered for around 1.50-1.80 $, just sheet of 9+gutter can little bit improve low grade for design!



7-2013 "EUROPA":

I don't know why, all countries around have same yellow color in use! Reason that most Postal Company, use yellow to paint all car and offices are not enough valid to "paint" also postage stamp in yellow filter!

Marking for this issue? Poor! Not bad, but just poor!
Two stamp like usually in EUROPA topic, with high face value of more than 1.80 $, where market will ask of 3.50-3.90 $ per set (which is still affordable). Sheet of 8+gutter little bit improve overall impression.
Date of issue is 9/V/2013 - can be included in "Car", "Citroen" and it is all what I can say!


Postage Due 1-2013:

Like usually, small dimension, and continuing with design from previous years, of "Avala" Tower (rebuild after NATO bombed it and torn down to the ground), "City", "PC", "Museum" and last is for "Anti-Cancer".
No FDC issued here, and no date of issue available yet!
On market, it will be minimum asking price of 1.00 $ per any single!
