2018 - End of the Year:

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.

2017 End of the year:

Serbia: ...end of 2017 year, with few very interesting Topical.

Stamps that go to:
Art, Fauna, Religion, Icons, ZOO, Horses.... shortly, for everybody - something!
Still very affordable prices in face value, low quantity printed, little or non-exist in really postally used condition, and CTO just "on request".

I think, that only Serbia made it (exit on market) by "clever" way, with small quantity printed (very balanced with subscription quantity and market need).

Croatia made great mistake with AFINSA scandal, Slovenia go on market with "tons" of CTO material, Macedonia have it very wrong with "authorized dealer", Montenegro go badly with foreign dealer and design, Bosnia have it "hard time" with three separated postal entity (Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka = Bosnia and Herzegovina, Herzeg Bosna, Republika Srpska), and Serbian Autonomy of Kosovo go totally "out of order" when they decide to print postage stamps but not under cover from UN (under independent name, no UPU member).

But, in the end - we can say - Happy Collecting!

14-2017 "Museum Exhibition":

Really good issue, with local artist included, May 19, 2017, set of 4 value and gutter on middle. Little bit complicated to collect, as there are five set in sheet, all with different gutter. But face value are affordable, and market will be not more than 3.00-3.50 US$ per set!

15-2017 "Nature Protection":

As usually, Nature Protection come out on market in set of two values, with nice design that include one DUCK! Birds, nature, Water.... all are here. Jun 1, 2017 and again affordable face value.

16-2017 "180 years of GB and Serbia":

It is very interesting issue, that, actually, give us information how much years go, and Serbia have an connection with GB. History say very negative fact about this connection, but 180 and still going is good point to made this postage stamps. June 5, 2017 on market, single stamp.

17-2017 "Air Serbia":

Here we have it! 90 years and Air Serbia still work!

yes, under different names between this period, when still in Yugoslavia it was Yugoslavian Air Transport (JAT),  on the day of establishing it was called AD Aeroput (1927), and till now, under name Air Serbia. 

Say what You want, I like this logo, and design in particular.

August 21, 2017, single stamp.

18-2017 "Ljubicevo Equestrian":

It is not Olympic, but "local" Equestrian games in Ljubicevo. Serbian tradition in horse and sport are long and with tradition, so this happening deserve postage stamp!

September 1, 2017, single stamp.

19-2017 "Joy of Europe":

Good cause that come to life every year, with children evenings on focus.

As usually it is also children drawings shown on postage stamps.

Single stamp, with very complicated sheet composition of 8 stamps and 7 tabs or gutter (how You like to call it), so show me one person that will have all option from sheet in collection.

I think, that it "miss the point" in deciding to made it in this composition!

September 29, 2017, single value.

20-2017 "Icon - King of Serbia The First":

Huh, You know!

Show me country, that have King, 800 year ago!

This is exactly that, about what this issue is talking!

Named after King Stefan Prvovencani, the first-crowned King of Serbia (cca.1165-1228).

Someone want to say that Serbia 'backward state"?

I don't think so!

October 6, 2017, single value with design from Studenica Monastery.

21-2017 "Stamp Day":

Not too much to talk, as this single value teach about postage stamps in Serbia, history...

This time with IRC shown on it, with low face value, October 9, 2017 hit the market!

22-2017 "Christmas":

Another one in Serbian tradition, Christmas that we all celebrate in own way!

So, stamps is just showing us all element from Christmas Table in Serbian family!

FDC much better give picture to me, than stamp alone!

October 2, 2017 on market, set of two stamps.

23-2017 "Art":

Here we have one issue, that come on market just in booklet format. Little bit strange, as I know, that Serbia have it in sheet of 10 or 8+1 tab, but, I have just this information about booklet.

Interesting, that we have here set of six stamps, all showing us "local" important persons that made Serbia known in the world. Obviously, Ivo Andric (1892-1975) is included in this set!

Photographer, painter, poet, lyrics, Nobel Prize winner, educator and architect are shown here!

November 1, 2017, set of six stamps.

24-2017 "Children's Stamps":

Really "Children's Stamps"? Or probably someone mixed it with Belgrade ZOO?

I don't know, but here we have it with Fauna on. 

Not bad made, to be fair, and nice item to be included in collection. 

November 9, 2017.

2-2017 "Postage Due":

Next one single stamp, reprint of previously issued one, design of part from Serbian National costumes.
