202375 Years since the Founding of the Union of Philatelists of Serbia - Set

Philately as a collecting activity in Serbia records its beginnings in the last century, only to experience its real momentum as an organized activity shortly after the end of the Second World War. Enthusiasts of postage stamps quickly realized that without a comprehensive organization, phila-tely cannot expect a more engaged attitude of society towards it, nor can it play a more significant role, which naturally belongs to it. Convinced of the necessity of a strong philatelic organization, a few pre-war philatelic enthusiasts founded the Union of Philatelists of Serbia on August 22, 1948. Union of the Philatelists of Serbia has had an engaged attitude towards issues of protection of philately and philatelists from the very beginning. Although over the past 75 years, the questions and challenges have changed forms, they have certainly retained their original meaning and have not lost their relevance until these days.
