In the 19th century, after gaining partial autonomy, Serbia began opening and developing all institutions necessary for the functioning of a state - schools, hospitals, printing houses, and among them, a postal institution, as equally important.
During its existence, Post of Serbia has always been in line with contemporary trends, which included a quick, accurate and efficient service, and in many ways it has contributed to the industrialization and modernization of our country – by introducing telegraphic traffic in 1855, public postal transport for passengers in carriages in 1866, public telephone traffic in 1899, and in later decades with many other technological innovations.
In 1866 Principality of Serbia has printed its first postal stamps. The first regular postal stamp, with the image of Prince Mihailo Obrenović, was maid by engraving, in Vienna. Since then and up to now, Serbian stamps have been valued in the world as valuable works of art.
Principality of Serbia was also one of the founders of the Universal Postal Union, in 1874.
Since 1865 and its first intentionally built post office building (next to Batal Mosque), Post of Serbia has built facilities that helped with their shape, size and space organization in increasing the productivity of postal, telegraphic and telephone services.
In 2014 Post of Serbia officially opened and put into operation a new Regional postal logistic centre “Beograd”. The centre will contribute, with its 28.000 square meters of modern business, warehouse and sorting space and state of the art machines to the higher quality of services and the introduction of new services in domestic and international postal traffic.
In this way, Post of Serbia still remains one of the leaders in technological and economic development of modern Serbia.
