8-2018 "Serbian Dictionary":
Here we come with one very important issue for Serbia and history worldwide, as it is talking of 200 years of Serbian dictionary.
Lot of countries even don't have this life spam, and many even didn't exist before this time.
Can You count me how much countries have this 200 years in existence?
Not many - isn't?
And Serbia, as it is small today, and as all big power wish to see this small Serbia even smaller, have just dictionary made before 200 years.
Yes, it was made by great person - Vuk Stefamovic Karadzic.
Not something in "big" design, or some kind of masterpiece, but one very balanced design, with low face value (0.22 US$) for single stamp, little bit more for FDC and this sheet of 9 stamps with gutter on middle.
9-2018 "EUROPA - Bridges":
Very popular issue in all Europe, and this year it come with "Bridges" on topic. Serbia made choice and show us this two beautiful architectural work. It is two new projects, that was made after "big powers" total destruction of bridges around Serbia in last conflict. As Serbian know, and as they are still strong in mind, two bridges are built with great perfection and art!
One is named "Gazelle" (in Belgrade), and second is "Zezeljev" bridge in Novi Sad, combined road and railway bridge, which was originally build in 1961 and demolished by NATO bombing in 1999 (reason for demolition - ask in NATO).
Issued in two stamps in set, with little bit high face value of 1.60 US$ per set, but, You will need little bit more to pay from any supplier. Sheet of 8 and one gutter on middle.
10-2018 "Postal Museum":
One really nice set, showing us items from past, that was used in post offices. perfect design, perfect sheet composition, perfect color choice!
This Post Museum have great 95 year of existence, with all kind of items stored and preserved as time go on.
On this set of 4 stamps we see: postal carriage (made by Carrozzeria Italiana Cesare Sala, Milan, Italy), Inductive headset (Ericsson), Personal telephone of King Peter I Karadjordjevic and Inductive switchboard and Hughes Telegraph device.
On gutter between two stamps we have other items shown from post history.
One of really nice items to have in collection.
Four stamps in set, with 1.80 US$ face value, but "problematic" is this sheet composition, where You have five set (strip format), with five different gutters between two stamps, so if You will wish to have all option than You will need this sheet of five sets, which will cost You little bit more than You expected.
11-2018 "Art - Writers":
Personally, I don't like this design, even as it is talking about "Art" (we, simple people, when hear ART, we have picture of some painting, sculpture, murals.... for sure, not writers), showing us portrait of well know writers in Serbia and worldwide.
Here we have set of six stamp, which will inform us about:
Ivan Sergeyevich Tutgenev
Kosta Trifkovic
Maksim Gorky
Aleksa Santic
Milosh Crnjanski
and
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
As mentioned, six stamps in set, booklet format, higher face value of 2.80 US$, and two FDC.
12-2018 "European Nature Protection":
Every year this issue are coming to the market, which I really don't like, not because it don't have significance, but because this stamps are more better suited for "Tourism" section and not (as it don't have nothing in connection with actual protection of nature), in "European" frame.
Two stamps in set, showing us beauty of Serbian nature: Waterfalls of Sopotnica and Cerje cave.
From design and work of artist, hardly that You will feel real beauty of this two spot in Serbia, as it is made by artist in little bit "naive" way, but, probably, this stamps will made "click" in Your head, and will result in real sight by yourself.
Two stamps with "middle" face value of 1.70 US$ per set.
