History edit

The Principality of Serbia began to issue its own stamps in 1866.[1] Serbia was elevated to the status of a Kingdom in 1881.

World War I edit

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.

Kingdom of Yugoslavia edit

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.

World War II edit

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]

Post war edit

From 1944 onwards, Serbia was again part of Yugoslavia.

Modern Serbia edit
