So, here it is last issues from 2018 year.
Little bit too late, but it is our life when Post around World come to halt (almost), for reason of our "modern" life and profit-for-any-price management.
What I can say about Serbia issues of 2018 year?
One for sure, negative side is that they made 30 issues (commemorative), and 4 or 5 from common issues. For small country as Serbia is today (8+M citizens), it is not something that need to be. Today, most of post offices around country (and worldwide) use this "stickers" or labels for postage pay, not postage stamps at all, so what was reason to make 30 issues? Yeah, to make money for sure, but also, as I see, to celebrate and remember history of Serbia and peoples living there.
This 2018 year, make few anniversary for Serbia, just to mention this great WWI, where Serbia lost many soldiers and civilians during war, we know for sure, that they lost most of all sides fighting this great war. So, naturally, Serbia issued few stamps celebrating this sad part of history.
So, let it go:
23-2018 "Synagogue in Serbia":
Issued on Oct. 19, 2018. Set of three (3) values, showing us great architecture of this time. We have here Synagogue in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Subotica, which are most known in this part of Balkan. All have very big history and are well preserved.
Issued in sheet of 9 stamp, this time without gutter on middle of sheet. Face value are minimal, somewhere around 0.50 US$, but as it is in small sheet, this issue will have over face value price tag.
24-2018 "Liberation of Serbia in WWI":
Date Nov. 1, 2018, with six stamp in set, and I can say, done in well made design, probably best in 2018 year. Title of issue is Liberation of Serbia by Joint French-Serbian Army, so I can say, that politics interfere little bit in this issue, as we know well that France actually fight together with Serbian Army, but after WWI, same France asked Serbia to PAY all help they give to Serbia and Serbian people.
This set is made in booklet format only, so You will need some 5.00 to 6.00 US$ to have it.
25-2018 "100 yr of End of WWI":
here we have another issue commemorating WWI, and this time, it is for Doctors that served in WWI on the Serbian Army. Again set of 6 values, and again in booklet format.
Date of issue Nov. 11, 2018.
26-2018 "100 yr of Accession of Voivodina to the Kingdom of Serbia":
Yes, it is important, yes it is history, but why they didn't made better design?
It is "bleak", it is some kind of poorly made design.
Issued on Nov. 23, 2018, in small sheet, with high face value of almost full one US$, that is really high for standard in Serbia.
27-2018 "150 year of Church of the Emperor":
To be fair, even I, who lived in Yugoslavia (Serbia, Voivodina), don't remember this Emperor, and his past!
Probably people that obey Religion, and learn little bit of history, know this Emperor, and probably it is issued just for reason to remember him this way to the future.
One stamp, low face value, with well made design.
28-2018 "In't Day of Persons with Disabilities":
Not many people know, that exist this day on the International level, isn't?
One stamp issued, low face value, design with one nice slogan: "J=DNAKI" (equal = )/
I like it, just because this slogan, but not because design of stamp.
Dec. 3, 2018.
29-2018 "SLAVA - Celebration of Family Saint Patron's Day":
Much better made than other, I can say!
Peoples that collect Icons and Fresque, will need it for sure, but best come from FDC design, where we can almost feel the Icon itself.
Two stamp, one with St. Stephen and another one of St. John, really nice design.
Issued on Dec. 4, 2018.
Keep an eye on this issue!
30-2018 "Family Album - WWI":
Important is just this WWI title, but I think, it was unnecessary issue.
We have two or even three issues to remember this WWI, and next one, with family album pictures are more than need.
It is made in set of six values, with gutter between. I don't think many people will look after this issue.
So, it is all for 2018, probably some items I didn't have here, as Serbia Post, deliver just "regular" issues to the subscribers, so, it will not be surprise, if we will find some another stamp issued in 2018 year with perforation varieties or something like that. We will follow situation and inform if something will discovered.
