202480 Years Since the Liberation of Belgrade and Serbia - First Day Cover

Belgrade and Serbia were liberated from the Nazi occupation in October 1944 by the joint struggle of the People’s Liberation Army of Yugoslavia (NOVJ) and the Red Army. The enemy, fleeing, mined a large number of key facilities in Belgrade, and thanks to the Red Army, almost all the mines were successfully removed. As a memory of the first days of freedom, there was an inscription on many Belgrade buildings – CHECK PASSED - NO MINES.
