2021: Continue with ....

14-2021 "Nature Protection":


Every single year  we have this issue, and this year it is for two places in Serbia. One is for Blederija natural monument, and second for Osredak reserve.

Two stamps in set, with face value of more than 1.30 US$ per set, probably not so attractive but still acceptable. Issued June 10, 2021.




15-2021 "Digitalization":

Interesting design that come to the market on June 14, 2021, with same face value as previous one, around 1.30 US$, two stamp in set, and I will not say, that this issue will be something "sought to have", because topic under name "Digitalization" is not so attractive.




16-2021 "City of Krusevac":

It is to celebrate 650 years of city, that have historical tradition in Serbia. It was capital of Prince Lazar, who built it in 1371, and continue to be cultural place till today. One that is worth to visit.
June 28, 2021 issue with single stamp. 
Face value around 0.30 US$, sheet composition of 4 stamps and 4 tabs.



17-2021 "Olympic in Tokyo":

I will not say, that design is attractive, or eye catching!
Two stamps in set, July 1, 2021 come to the market, with standard face value of around 1.30 US$ per set of two.
Sheet composition of 8+1 gutter.



18-2021 "Uprising - 80 years":

It happened as upraising against fascism and fascist occupier of Serbia in WWII.
Issued on July 7, 2021 with one stamp, design is from famous picture at the time, protesters gathering in capital city Belgrade on March 27, 1941.
Nice sample to have in collection.
Face value for this single stamps is very low - around 0.30 US$, but sheet composition is 10 stamps with gutter on middle.





19-2021 "Francophonie":

To be fair, I really don't know what was a need for this issue?
Serbia is just observers in this organization of 53 countries, and nothing I see that have any connection or influence on Serbian people.
Yes, Serbia have big friendship with France, but no French  language in use inside Serbia.
So, just to be "more connected" with France (where Serbian King is killed) I see no need, as Serbia have very good friendship with France without this one.
July 14, 2021 on market, one stamp, design can be put to "children drawing" one.



20-2021 "Archaeology":

Actually, it is named as "Science" Dragoslav Srejovic (1931-1996), to mark life and work of this person, who was a leader of Serbian archaeology in Serbia.
One stamp issue but again this sheet composition of 10 and 5 gutters on middle.
July 9, 2021.



Postage Due 2-2021 "St. Sava Church - Belgrade":

Small size stamp, great design, and be prepared for it for more than three time face value.
I think, it is worth to have it, and probably, to visit this really GREAT Church I visited at the time when it was still in early stage of construction!



....and, to mention, as today, people are reporting for some varieties, errors as "moon" or "Venera" star (shown in picture, under SAVE inscription) over this Holly Place!

and another one:

Postage Due 3-2021 "St. Sava Church - Belgrade":



....just this time shown under daylight!

21-2021 "Cities":

It is continuation of celebrating city of importance in Serbia, this tome for Novi Pazar and Kraljvo.
I will not talk about history of this city, You have it plenty on internet, just to say, that it is still good design.
Set of 2 stamps issued Sept. 8, 2021.




22-2021 "Diplomatic ties with Mexico":

Sept. 13, 2021, mini sheet with two stamps.
Flag, City, Architecture topic.
Not bad, not bad at all by design!



23-2021 "Medal of Honor":

Sept. 15, 2021, and again one experiment with sheet composition!
I don't like this kind of manipulation with Philatelist, it is too much for person to complete one specialized collection and no need at all!



24-2021 "Waterpolo":

Sept. 23, 2021, one eye catching issue, very good design as for stamp same for sheet of 8+1 gutter!
Face value very affordable, but I think that for sheet of 8 You will need to prepare a little bit more than usually!


25-2021 "Russian Volunteer":

Another good one!
Sheet composition little bit in different format, as it come with 8 stamps and gutter between in horizontal way. 
Worth to have it!
Sept. 24, 2021 and face value very near of 1.00 US$ per single stamp!




26-2021 "Joy of Europe":

Shortly, I think, that Serbia need to stop with issuing this topic, as it, in collectors life, don't have significance any more!
Sept. 30, 2021, again one stamp, and again sheet composition very problematic for specialized collection!




27-2021 "Non-Aligned Countries":

It can be more, much more better design, even I can say not good at all!
Oct. 11, 2021, two stamps in set.


28-2021 "Serbia - USA ties":

Mini sheet of 2 stamps, "bombastic" design, great history, but I see it as little bit "not serious".
I don't know why they made it this way, but, probably to attract collectors of USA related material.
Oct. 14, 2021.



29-2021 "Boxing":

Issue to mark "World Boxing Champ".
Oct. 18, 2021.



30-2021 "Aviation":

Oh, this one issue is good one!
Oct. 22, 2021, one stamp, sheet composition "standard" 8+1 tab on middle, can be included in few topical collection and probably will have an good sale.



31-2021 "Tourism":

Nice effort to promote tourism in Serbia, but with design that will be hard to sell!
Oct. 29, 2021. two stamp in set.





32-2021 "Patron of St. Day":

Well known tradition in Serbia, where every family have one St. Patron.
Personally, I don't like this "modern Icon drawing"! 
I prefer old one way in doing this kind of.
Nov. 2, 2021, single stamp, sheet of 10.



33-2021 "Duke Zivojin Misic":

Very important person in Serbian history, deserve to be memorialized on postage stamp!
Nov. 11, 2021, one stamp.



....still not all from 2021 shown on this page....
