2026100 Years of the International Philatelic Federation (FIP) Serbia - First Day Cover

The International Philatelic Federation, i.e. Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP) was founded in Paris on June 18, 1926. The association was created at the initiative of a group of European philatelic societies, who came together during the International Philatelic Exhibition in Paris and agreed to create a global umbrella organization for philatelists. From an organization that consisted of only a few European societies a hundred years ago, the International Philatelic Federation ˗ FIP has developed into a global network of more than 90 national philatelic societies and is today the supreme authority for defining standards in modern philately.
