This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of Serbia .
The Principality of Serbia began to issue its own stamps in 1866. [1] Serbia was elevated to the status of a Kingdom in 1881.
During the First World War, the territory of Serbia was under Austro-Hungarian occupation. Stamps of Bosnia and Herzegovina overprinted "Serbien" were issued for Serbia.
In 1920, its postal system was merged with the postal system of the former Austro-Hungarian territories with which it formed the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
After the Germans established the Government of National Salvation in 1941, it issued its own stamps until 1944. Initially, Yugoslavian stamps were simply overprinted in German with the word Serbien. Later regular issues were inscribed both Serbien and Србија (Serbia). [2]
From 1944 onwards, Serbia was again part of Yugoslavia.
Upon the dissolution of the union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2006, Serbia began issuing its own stamps once more. The Post of Serbia issues the country's stamps.
An overprint is an additional layer of text or graphics added to the face of a postage or revenue stamp, postal stationery, banknote or ticket after it has been printed. Post offices most often use overprints for internal administrative purposes such as accounting but they are also employed in public mail. Well-recognized varieties include commemorative overprints which are produced for their public appeal and command significant interest in the field of philately.
