2018 continue II:

13-2018 "World Champ Football":

As we know, this World Cup was held in Russia, despite many obstacles it was one real show of sport and organization was just perfect!
Serbia, made this postage stamp in "nice" way. I can say just "nice" because artist have some "new way" idea in making design. Composing Russian achievement in cosmos with football competition is little bit challenge, so, design come in just "nice" way!
Two stamps in set and one miniature sheet come to the market on June 14, 2018, with face value in very affordable scale. 5.13 US$ per set and m/s is really low as can be.





14-2018 "Children's Stamp" - Baby Zoo:

This issues come in every year, and this is one that will, probably, continue in the future, even that I don't like it, because here we have clear intention just to take some money, for product, that we really don't need. "Children's Stamp" in name, hardly that Serbia children will benefit from this!
On postage stamps, four in set, we can see "children's" of animal in Belgrade Zoo, wolf, goat, mare and swan. Set of four have lowest possible face value, and on market will be available around 1.70-1.90 US$. On market arrived on June 19, 2018.



15-2018 "Science":

What we have here, are portrait of scientist that are important for Serbia and world. Four stamps in set, set that is well designed in booklet format.
Persons on stamp are: Stevan Boskovic (1868-1957), Mihailo Petrovic Alas (1868-1943), Antal Koch (1843-1927) and Vladimir D. Laskarev (1868-1954).
Booklet come to the market on July 10, 2018, and on market, You will find it for around 4.76 US$.




16-2018 "Tourism":

really nice issue, tourism and nature shown from Kopaonik Nature Reserve, with typical Serbian house on it. Design well made and face value minimum, but market will ask for around half dollar per this single stamp. CM are worth to have.




17-2018 "Ljubichevo Game":

Again one "modern" design, for stamp that are here, just to remember this Ljubichevo region and game that are held there every year.
Nice for collectors of HORSE on stamp, but nothing more than that!
One stamp alone, minimal value, and hardly that it will reach some market value more than dollar per stamp.
On market at Aug. 31, 2018.


18-2018 "Monastery and Fresque":

This one issue are really art! very balanced design,color composition just perfect, and celebrating 600 years of Monastery Manasija! Yes, You see it correct, it is 600 (six hundreds) years back, when Serbian people made this monastery, today named Manasija, and also Resava Monastery. Endowment of Despot Stefan Lazarevic (Serbian ruler), the son of Duke Lazar and Duchess Milica, the knight of the Order of the Dragon. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Dragon).
Issued on Sept. 14, 2018, single stamp that is worth to have.
Minimal face value for stamps, but on market will be somewhere on half dollar, and for FDC and CM You will need to prepare more than 6.00 US$.



19-2018 "Joint Issue Serbia-India":

Great 70 years pass in this contact between Serbia and India, and design go for two great scientist, I can say, mostly important scientist for human race! It is Nikola Tesla, and Swami Vivekananda.
Design just perfect, and printing sheet composition even better made.
On market come at Sept. 15, 2018, with affordable face value. How much it will cost on market I really don't know, but I'm sure, not less than 2.50 US$ per set of 2, and if You wish also sheetlet format with gutter on middle, You will need very high of some 35.00 US$ per sheetlet!


20-2018 "Joy of Europe":

For me, it is strange that Serbia continue with this topic, to celebrating Children's Week, with happening that give importance to our children and education.
So, shortly: single stamp, "middle" face value, no significance on Philatelic market.
Issued on Sept. 28, 2018.



21-2018 "Stamp Day":

I will suggest, to Serbian Post, to stop with this issues, and if to continue, to continue just once in 5 year period, because we see that all idea for design are gone. This time we see in design radiogram, and team that operate it (on FDC), but overall design are lost!
On market Oct. 2, 2018, minimal face value, hardly that will reach half dollar on market!


22-2018 "Christmas":

Here we have two stamps in set, as usually, design from religion, fresque from Sopocany Monastery, which come back to 13th century!
When I thinking little bit about this fact as 13th century monastery, or 600-700 years back, that SERBIAN people made, and build, I come to conclusion  that it is one very-very old CIVILIZATION in question, it is not some "new" Republics for "new" nationality (to mention, that "new" can be applied" for all less than 80 years existence) - civilization, that, from history, all west powers wanted to destroy. Ottomans, West, and sometime east just attack this very advanced CIVILIZATION, that left behind many "educated" countries.
Two stamp in set, Oct. 10, 2018, well made. Keep it in Your collection, it is worth this 2.36 US$ on market, for set!

12-2013 till end of year 2013

Finally, I have last shipment of FDC from Serbia 2013 year. Yes, too long and didn't have listed it here (end of 2013), it happen because Serbian Post again made some kind of "break" in producing and delivering FDC's from August till end of 2013. What happen? I really don't know, even my source in Belgrade didn't know what is really happening there, probably payment dispute to the printer, nothing strange if it is true.
As is - is, and here we go with:

12-2013 "Equestrian" Ljubicevo Games (Horses):



Given to the public on 30 Aug. 2013, set of 4 value, in sheet of 5 set and gutter between two stamp. Gutter on full sheet are different for each set, little bit difference of most till today made, where it was like complete picture.
Face value for full set is little bit over 1.00 US$! 1.04 $ actually, that is very affordable (if You will take account just face value) for "Sport", "Horses" topical collector, but - You must count that no dealer will sell it by face value, and yeah - postage cost will kill us!

13-2013 "Joy of Europe":



Issued on 2 Sep. 2013, set of 2 stamp. I still can not understand why they continue with this "topical", name "Joy of Europe", as we know, that it was very attractive festival in SFR of Yugoslavia time! Because all this "new independent countries" abandoned "motherland" of Yugoslavia, I really don't see reason to celebrate something that don't have any significance in today's "new world order". Yes, it is nice and good effort, but just at the time that our children have REALLY joy in own country!
Face value is little bit under 1.00 $ (0.80 US$) per set, and just "Bicycle" topical collectors will be happy to find it in collection. Nothing "great" to say about this issue!

14-2013 "Constitutional Court":



If not funny - it will be very sad! Which kind of celebration? 50 year of Constitutional Court?
What exactly if we know, that in Serbia, politician is changing constitution after every election (that happen frequently) and "constitution" start to be just like some kind of "shield" for every possible problems in Serbia!
This single stamp come to the public on 14 Oct. 2013, with "Coat of Arm", "Book of Constitution" and "Statue of Justice" on it!
Provocative in every aspect! 
Face value for this single stamp is 0.26 US$, very available around!

15-2013 "Stamp Day":



Really nice design! You have here shown all that represent one post activity! From map (on FDC) to hand cancel, envelope, leaf, seal... Really good work of artist!
Come to public on 25 Oct. 2013, single, again low face value of 0.26 US$ per stamp! If You need something "good" in Your collection, obtain this single stamp together with FDC - and You can go to exhibition!

16-2013 Christmas":



To be fair? Nothing "special" with this time! If not good FDC design, it will go unnoticed!
Two stamp in set, face value of 0.80 US$, probably just for "Religion" on stamp collectors!
Out on the market on 28 Oct. 2013.

17-2013 "Njegos":



Fine, it is very important person for Serbs. He was great poet, prince-bishop, and ruler of Montenegro!
So, deserve to be on postage stamp, it is 200 years of his birth, and Serbian is searching for self-boost in national "feeling". What Montenegrin say? Hmmmmm, better ask them - there are very different opinion for and against this "ruler"! I personally can say, that he was great!
Single stamp there, little bit more than usually face value - 0.54 US$, design is much better on CM than on stamp alone!

18-2013 "Science and Education":



This set can be named just "Education", because showing us 4 stamp in set, all of Gymnasiums in Serbia (Prijepolje, Novi Pazar, Mitrovica, Pancevo), with tradition of more than 175 year. Nice for one small country, under Turkish rule, that keep own education and didn't give up for foreign ruler education!
Set of 4 stamp, all in same face value, together give little bit over $, 1.04 US$ per set. If You collect "Architecture" or "Building" topical - it is for You!
Come to the public on 20 Nov. 2013.

19-2013 "King Aleksander I Karadjordjevic":



If Njegos, than also King Aleksander - isn't?
yeah, it is 125 year of birth, and many nationalist will be happy to see it on cover, but, I'm afraid, that also many will be using heavy cancel for this in post offices! Seriously, it is not bad design, showing us portrait of King, and his coat of arms/seal.
good topical in any case! As King deserve, it is also face value bigger than "ordinary" single issue - this one come up with 0.59 US$ face value, but be prepared to pay little bit more!

20-2013 "Joint issue with Algeria - Carpets":



2 Dec. 2013, not bad, not bad at all! Nice design showing us Serbian and Algerian carpet, that as I know are very valued, not like Persian carpet - but very near of it! This m/s is showing us motifs on carpet of this two countries, tools for producing same - one small "museum" on postage stamp!
Recommended to have it - if not for something else, for history alone!
There it is two stamp in it, 1.09 US$ face value, not expensive, affordable and good design - You need more than that in Your collection?

21-2013 "Military Industry":



28 Nov. 2014, long tradition in Serbia, good quality production till today. Here we celebrate 160 years of "Zastava" factory, that produce very fine weapons for military, private, sport use. design is also not bad, showing us cannon, factory.
On FDC even technical drawing of "Kokina pus'ka"! Go and take it! Face value are standard of 22 dinar - 0.26 US$. 

22-2013 "Stefan Nemanja - Icon":



If Njegos, if King, than we have also one Holy Stefan! 6 Dec. 2013, single stamp of face value 0.26 US$, fine tuned design that have significance - keep it in collection!

and in the end of year:

Postage due 3-2013:


As usually there is 10 dinar face value for each - mean 0.11 US$ per one, of this 4 last issued. For Serbian population it is not little - it is actually good money (if we see it in quantity printed).
here we have again one building of library, handball sport, Red Cross and family (this one with very nice slogan there - "Listen mam and dad - I want sister of brother"!
