2021 ...till end of the year:

 34-2021 "World Writers":

Here we have one good design, relatively important topic, it is writers that changed our life!

Set of 4 values, showing us four writers:

Fyodor Dostroevsky (1821-1881),

Stanislav Lem (1921-2006),

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941),

Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867).

Date of issue Dec. 1, 2021, as I mention, four stamp in set, booklet format.

Face value are little bit high for domestic use, some 3.00 US$, but as Serbia have small quantity printed, probably, this issue will be hard to have on exchange base with other collectors.

Here we have topic as "Science Fiction", "Judaica" too.

35-2021 "Serbia-Germany Artist":

Kill me if I know, what is a need for this issue!

In description on FDC is written:

"...deep connection of Serbia and Germany..."

Serious? WWI, WWII, civil war in Yugoslavia ..... they call it "deep connection"?

One of shown artist, even serve during WWII in German army!

Any way, we have here set of two, showing us

Joseph Beuys (1921-1986),

Dimitrije Basicevic Mangelos (1921-1987).

Issue come to the market on Nov. 23, 2021.

36-2021 "Museums":

Nov. 24, 2021, set of two, we have it here Museum in Pozarevac and Belgrade.

This one from Pozarevac intrigued me, because on FDC and on tab attached on stamp is shown stone with Orthodox Symbol used from Roman Empire time, which I can find on some Russian issues too.

Again, set of two, this time with low face value, but nice design. Sheet composition is again "problematic", because there are 5 sets with gutter on middle, each gutter different from other.

37-2021 "Christmas":

Nov. 26, 2021, two stamps in set, with some kind of "modern" design, which I don't prefer for Christmas time, no, no....

Christmas have this special mark on our life, no matter on which religion, and need to be celebrated with some "classic" pictures or drawings. Yes, it is my opinion only!

38-2021 "Communist Party of P. R. of China":

Here, we have an interesting issue from Serbia, for which, many people ask what is a need for it!

To be fair, it is one or some kind of support for China, and it deserve to be memorialized on postage stamps.

Than come Serbia long relationship with P. R. of China, which resulted in big investment in Serbia, support from this country is not small.

Nov. 29, 2021, sheet format of three stamp and three tabs, in "hard" red color.

I can not say, that artist effort made a point in design.

39-2021 "Serbia - UAE - 50 years connection":

Nice, really nice design of sheet of two!

Dec. 2, 2021, sheet format which have this birds as symbol of two countries, Eagle and Falcon!

40-2021 "Stefan Nemanjic Monument":

All fuss regarding this monument shown in this issue!

I don't see so attractive, or even not near the Mes'trovic' level.

But, here we have it and that it is!

Dec. 3, 2021, single stamp, low face value.

41-2021 "Journalist Association":

From first sight, You will think that it is some ad for phone, than you can discover that it is 1881 year there which is year of forming Journalist Association of Serbia.

Design missed it!

Dec. 7, 2021, single stamp.

42-2021 "Red Star F. C.":

Nooooooooo, this is really "speed home work" design - no, it is disaster in stamp design!

Topic is "on place", as Red Star F. C. have great history, tradition and is doing good job in sport, but to make design in this way is naive!

Dec. 8, 2021, set of two stamps.

43-2021 "Personalities":

In short period, Serbia decide to commemorate a lot of people, writers and artist, this time with:

Dobrica Cosic (1921-2014),

Branko Pesic (1921-2006),

Stanislav Vinaver (1891-1955),

Jovan Ducic (1874-1943).

Dec. 10, 2021, four stamp in set.

44-2021 "Ivo Andric - Nobel Prize":

Yes, he finally deserve it to be as much as can be, memorialized on postage stamp!

Serbia have it few time, Yugoslavia too, Republika Srpska also!

Single stamp, showing us portrait of Ivo, with "his" Bridge over Drina river!

And You can put it in "Masons" topical, as Ivo Andric was part of this.

Dec. 10, 2021, single stamp!

45-2021 "Postal Saving Bank":

It is to celebrate 100 years of this Bank, and it is tradition, really big tradition!

I like it, as design as to celebrate this hundred years of great achievement!

Nov. 30, 2021, single stamp!

46-2021 "Serbia - Kazakhstan":

25 years of relationship, not long period, but good ties.

Sheet format, with good design, probably You will like it!

Dec. 10, 2021, sheet of two.

47-2021 "Novak Djokovic - #1":

I think, that this issue come under pressure from somewhere, and it resulted in shortage on market. There come rumors, that someone purchased all quantity that was available to the public, and now have it manipulated on market. Subscribers receive all quantity, but because low face value, which give opportunity for someone, to purchase all available on market.

Two stamps in set, with face value of 60.00 dinar, which is less than half $, with low quantity printed, every, even middle level stamp dealer, can buy it all!

Market react fast, and now, who have it, is not willing to exchange it at all, and other just ask 100.00 $ per sample!

Will You pay it?

Dec. 16, 2021, sheet of two format, not so great design.

This is all for this 2021 year! 47 issues (even more if You count Postage Due stamp), 132 postage stamps, actually, Serbia Post made one wrong decision. they go for more issues and keep low quantity, for simple reason to reach some "frame" for income. I don't like it, as we all know, that today, postage stamp is not (mostly) used in as payment to send mail.

So, keep all You have on cover, and wait for some period - it will have value!

2021 year: Start here...

 2021 start really nice way, as I have half year on my desk to review.

What to say  about, is just, that I'm little bit surprised with printing company that do a job for Serbian Post, as we know, that FORUM, from Novi Sad have a bad reputation when is talking about security. Too many "proof print", "error", and imperforated material "skip the security there, and it find way to market quickly, which, caused low grading for Serbia material on market. Too bad that people just don't understand, that manipulation with collectors, cause reverse effect, where people will find it hard to complete this territory, so on, they will decide to stop this effort.

Last few years, Serbia print material in ZIN, Belgrade, which have much better security control, and if something "unusual" go to market, we know that it is because someone out of ZIN made intentionally manipulation, with some profit on personal side.

So we go:

1-2021 "China New Year":

This year, it is year of OX, and design is similar as years back, by my opinion, just nice, not more than that!

Two stamps in set, around 1.00 US$ face value.  

2-2021 "Easter":

If not this FDC, which was made in good way, I will say, that this time, design miss the point. I don't know why, but I don't prefer modern design of Icons or Fresque, where I prefer old, classic one, that are available a lot in every church around Serbia.

Two stamps in set, and again in 1.00 US$ face value!

 

3-2021 "Seminary":

This issue have intention to celebrate 150 years of the foundation of the PRIZREN Seminary.

Important place, important role, and one "classic" architecture here, where Serbia meet own need for education and religion.

This building come under attach of Albanian extremist in 1999 and 2004 year, and all under "patronage" of west countries, where this "west" just keep eye closed for something that need to be avoided.

Single stamp with less than half US$ in face value!

4-2021 "Actors":

Again same design, which is boring in minimum expression, I don't like it at all, from beginning, too "gray" in view, not of my taste!

Between all persons here, I will mention one, Predrag Ejdus (1947-2018), which have Jewish family name, but can not be included in Judaica topic, because his mother was Serbian. 

Now, if someone collect actors, than he will need this set, which is not so in low face value, actually, set of 8 values is over two US$ in face value!

5-2021 "Student Cultural Centre":

You know, not bad design at all, actually like it!

FDC little bit "naive" in design, but good for topical collection as "Architecture", "Building".

One set, less than half US$ in face value.

6-2021 "Space Flight":

Holy Spirit!

Straight to the point! This issue really surprised me, and can say, just PERFECT!

We are now in 60 years of First manned Space Flight, so, to celebrate it, Serbia issued this set with three stamps. We have it here Yurij Gagarin, German Titov and Valentina Tereshkova, all in really perfect made stamp design. I love it!

Issue come in booklet format, with three FDC and very affordable face value of 2.60 US$ per set. You will need little bit more for booklet cover, but still very affordable! keep an eye on this issue!

7-2021 "Sacral Architecture":

Standard design for this topic, showing us three Monastery in Serbia, Studenica, Grachanica and Djurdjevi Stupovi. 

Issued in sheet of 8 and gutter, for which You will need little bit more to pay. 

face value under one US$ per set, good buy I think!

8-2021 "Earth Day":

Not too much to talk about this issue, mini sheet with one stamp in, relatively "high" face value of 1.20 US$ per one. design is not by my taste, at all.

9-2021 "Faculty":

It is important, it have right to be on postage stamps, even one good design, so can be included also in "Bridge" topic. Issue celebrate 175 years of faculty for Civil Engineering, and also 75 years of Reconstruction of the railway bridge over Danube. This specific bridge is interesting, as it was not attacked by NATO bombing in 1999.

Two stamp in set, little bit over half US$ per set, I can say, good buy!

10-2021 "EUROPA":

Oh, this year, it is under "Endangered National Wildlife" theme, and I can say, that Serbia made it best!

Two stamps in set, Falcon and Shore Lark on it, best possible design, perfect match in dimension, giving us feeling of this birds! 

Set of two, is still under one US$ face value, but it will be very hard to find it by face value, not for exchange base for sure. As I say, great design, with also "Flora" topic on it, and FDC cancel with nest and eggs.

Issued in sheet of 8 with gutter on middle, which will be too costly to buy, and probably catalog value for this sheet of 8 will reach around 35.00 euros!

11-2021 "Stamp Day":

Usually, on this period a year, we have this issue coming to market. his time, we celebrate 150 years of sending The First Serbian Post Card. I like this design, as it have also "Stamp on Stamp" topic, with fascinating DRAGON shown here, and face value is just less than half US$!

12-2021 "Art":

You know, I'm graphic design by profession, so, I will not comment this issue, too much for my nerve, too much! Set of 2, little bit over half US$ face value. Worth to have it? Really don't know, but for sure, it is NOT for investment!

13-2021 "Africa Day":

Interesting issue to celebrate establishment of African Union.

You know, I like this issue! Stamp alone is in bigger format than usually, and image on stamp is some kind of "Lego" cubes, but when You will see sheet of 8 stamps and strip of gutter between two row, than You will say, that it is really good job made!

By local standard, it is expensive issue, as stamp alone have near one US$ face value! With sheet of 8 stamps and this gutter, face value go for more than 8.00 US$, but market will ask premium!

1-2021 "Postage Due":

I call it postage due, but actually, from this three, just one come in this range.It is small format "regular" issue, one is for vaccination effort in Serbia, second for children security on internet and third is for grape domestic sort!

This is all for now, we will continue!

Follow me also on Facebook group of YuRePublic (Philately) (https://www.facebook.com/groups/YuRePublic), You will find interesting posts there!

2020 year - start with:

 1-2020 "Italian Navy for the Serbian Army - WWI":

One important issue from WWI, where Italian Navy rescued Serbian Army and civilians to the freedom.

It happen from Dec. 12, 1915 to Feb. 29, 1916 where Italian Royal Navy evacuated from Albania 260 895 Serbians and 24 000 Austrian prisoners of war.

Issued on Jan. 21, 2020, set of 4 values, printed in sheets of two sets with gutter between.

2-2020 "China New Year":

Set of two values, as usually, it is from Lunar Horoscope - Year of Rat.

Design is "as usually" in this topic, Serbia have it in own way. I can say, "nice" design. FDC even better made than set alone. In any way, worth to have in collection!

4-2020 "180th Ann. of the Post of Serbia":

Set is made of one m/s and one single stamp, in nice design that can be included in "Architecture" topical, what made me confused, is that it is made in printing plant "FORUM", instead of "ZIN", so result come in bad way, and it is fact, that on the market, we have also imperforated option of this m/s.

That say a  lot, as security in this printing plant are still low graded. Just to mention, that this imperforated samples come not legally out to the market.

I personally don't like this manipulation with collectors.

Issued on Feb. 27, 2020.

3-2020 "Easter":

Every year, at this time we celebrate Easter, so same come issue regarding this Holiday.

Nice issue of two values, with Easter Egg in nice red color, "sitting" on plant collect locally "cuvarkuc'a" mean - house keeper..... one really nice move from artist.

Issued on Feb. 20, 2020.

5-2020 "Serbian Persons - Momo Kapor":

Important person in Serbian life, and deserve to be on postage stamp.

What I don't like is design, I really don't know if we "talk" about person or about his drawings!

One stamp issued in sheet format of 8 stamps and gutter on middle.

Issued March 3, 2020.

6-2020 "Cities of Serbia":

This issue have two values, with cities on it.

One is C'ac'ak and second Krus'evac, both with long history that deserve to be mentioned and postage stamp. Issue in sheet format of 8 plus gutter on middle, and also one CM made.

Nice design in any way.

Issued on March 10, 2020.

7-2020 "European Nature Protection":

Two stamps in set, Nature as main topic.

Nothing special in this issue.

On market in March 20, 2020.

8-2020 "Radio Studio B":

I don't think that this deserve to be on postage stamp, but, not my decision.

Even design is little bit confusing.

Issued on April 1, 2020. One stamp.

Postage Due 1-2020:

I call it "regular" issue, small format with Flower, Church and Internet Security for Children.

Four different design, low face value, but will be hard to obtain it in open market, as it is low value and postage cost to deliver it is high.

Postage Due 2-2020:

Same small format with Fruit on it, this time Cherry and Raspberry shown.

9-2020 "Football  in Serbia":

It is just continuing to celebrate long history of three oldest football club in Serbia.

One is with 100 year history, "Radnic'ki" (Belgrade Worker's Sport Club), than come with 75 years both - Red Star and Partizan. Nice made design and most that I like is this of "Partizan" where on Coat of Arms of this club is still written "Yugoslavian Sport Club"!

Issued on April 13, 2020.

10-2020 "International Year of Plant Health":

Really like this design. Well done!

We have it in sand clock shown Bee and Apple, in nice chosen colors and format!

Good job by artist, and I think, many will need it in collection!

11-2020 "EUROPA - Postal Routes":

I expected a much better design, but that was what we have. 

Two stamp, FDC much better made.

Issued on May 5, 2020.

12-2020 "Serbian Army Guard":

Probably, it is made for some kind of "proud" way to celebrate 190 years of Serbian Guard, really don't know, but they decided to have it memorized on postage stamps.

For sure, 190 years are not something that every country have, so it deserve to be celebrated.

May 6, 2020 issued.

13-2020 "75 years V-Day":

Yes, like this photo, like this moment, and like this design!

FDC is less attractive, but stamp alone, just great made!

Issued May 9, 2020.

14-2020 "Tourism":

One stamp, with near one $ face value, not low for Serbian market!

So come also sheet composition of 10 stamps, which will be good to have.

Issued on May 19, 2020.

CM even better made than FDC.

15-2020 "Stamp day - Postmark in Serbia":

From design, hardly that You will understand, that this time it is talking about first post mark in Serbia, because there You can see "Kalemegdan" fortress, and over it post mark "Belgrade".

Issued on May 13, 2020, one stamp.

16-2020 "Science":

Two stamp issue with "The Belgrade Hand" and another one with Ljubomir Kleric photo.
