2022 - Start:

 So, here we are in beginning with 2022 year, and not something that I'm happy to see!

It is just half year and Serbia Post decided to made around 20 issues, half year only!

It is, as I see, decision to made it in quantity, so to fill income. Even that most are under "low face value", but with quantity it will fill some "frame" in income.

I don't think it is right way in Philately! 

As quantity go up, I will just show picture of all (till now) issued, because it lookalike, will take more time now to describe all in detail or just "short" description.

Take in mind, that exchange rate as today, for local currency (Serbian Dinar) against US$ is:

1.00 US$ = 115.52 Serbian Dinar

so it will be easy for You to find face value of each stamps or set.

Of course, face value is NOT price that You will actually pay, even if You will go for purchase directly from Postal Authority of Serbia, there are additional charge applied to final bill.

Than, if You go for purchase on eBay or other web site/auction, new issue will cost You probably, twice face value plus shipping fees. Even if seller will offer free delivery, it will be probably just for more higher balance sheet. 

Some people say, that they obtain new issues on "exchange" base, which is nice, but not for face value, because You will need to pay postage cost for delivery of Your material, than cost of material You send and not talking about Your time spending in Post Office.

If You noticed, I describe some issues under name "Postage Due", even that there are some small dimension REGULAR issue, ( regular and commemorative postage stamps), it is not all in this category Postage due!

Let's start:


1-2022 "Novi Sad - European Capital of Culture":






2-2022 "FEST - 50 years":





3-2022 "24th winter Olympic - Beijing 2022":





4-2022 "Statehood Day - Serbia":





5-2022 "100 years of NIP Borba":




6-2022 "85th years of STUDENT magazine":




7-2022 "115th years of Petar Lubarda birth":



For this issue, I must to say, that I'm very dissapointed how artist made this design, in some poor quality,that is giving "feeling" that artist simply don't understand basic typography principles!

All who know Petar Lubarda know that his art work are full of colors, can say, heavy colors, so You, as artist that made proposals for stamp design, know which effect will be in the case when same "full color" are in background of postage stamp too! Now, we have one hardly visible image of Lubarda work.

Will someone here recognize Taurus and Scorpio, on this two "full red" stamp design?

It will be "hard task" to see it on first glance, but if it was made, as with white frame, than full visibility will appear!


8-2022 "International Woman's Day":



Here I admit! It is one better design and very interesting printing sheet combination!


9-2022 "140 years of Serbia and Japan diplomatic ties":




10-2022 "Serbia - Morocco Joint Issue":





11-2022 "Nikola Tesla":





12-2022 "Easter":




13-2022 "Flora":





14-2022 "Basketball Club Partizan - 30 years of winning Cup":




15-2022 "Serbian Army Day":




16-2022 "Institution in Serbia":





17-2022 "EUROPA 2022":



...against one disappointment in design! Yes, it is EUROPA issue under name of  "Stories and Myths", so they made it with folk tale of "Drekavac" (a being that, at night, rides on a man's back, until the man is exhausted), but - BUT! Can You find this being on this postage stamps?


18-2022 "Philately Day":




19-2022 "Belgrade Marathon":




1-2022 Postage Due:




...we will continue, at the moment when new issue reach my desk!

Enjoy!
