2023 - beginning:

 I come with update, little bit late, as cost for delivery around rise too much, so decision is to made delivery twice per year, but any way, we are here!

Till now, Sept. 2023, Serbia made 25 issues, too much for one small country of 9M citizens and with digitalised Post Offices that don't use postage stamps in practice. Yes, postage stamps are valid, but managers see it as wasting workers time to keep in record stock, and applying it in desk, than using hand cancel to mark it, so they decided to use simple labels as proof for payment! Result will be (probably), that really postally  used material on or off cover, will be hard to find and complete in any collection, and find it in specialized collection will ask for a lot of tome and money (patience too)!


I will just show pictures and titles of each issue, because it is too much for now, to describe all information around each issue, generally, You can make calculation how much it can cost, with exchange rate of:

1.00 US$ = 110.00 Serbian Dinar

at this day Sept. 16, 2023.

This rate are for face value, and what I see in major catalogs, that value go for double of face value, but on internet sales, You can find it for 25-50% over face value, plus postage cost and plus payment fee.

So, good luck in finding this material on "exchange" basis!

1-2023/3-2023 "Postage Due":

I call this small dimension stamps as postage due, but it is regular issue, that are used in domestic mail, but overseas too. There are Postage Due too!

We have here there issue, one is for "Internet Safety", second go for St. Sava Church and third is really beauty, "Flowers and Fruit"!




Don't think it is low valued on market, probably around one US$ per each stamps, but try to find it by this price - almost impossible!

So, that it is for now, hope, we will continue!
