In 2024 were issued new definitive stamps about EXPO 2027 which will take place in Belgrade. Obviously, stamps are issued in service of promotion the event. They will circulate as definitives probably until 2027.
All designs are about space exploration as symbol of new techonologies, ideas and future. But all of them are actually reused desings of Yugoslavian issue ‘EXPO 1967 Canada’. All stamps have logo of EXPO 2027 Belgrade. Also, on all stamps on the right side is written name Petar Jakelić (Петар Јакелић) who was the designer of Yugoslavian EXPO 1967 stamps. Mr Jakelić gave permission to Serbian post to reuse his designs, for free.
Motifs on stamps:
- E - Sputnik 1 and Explorer-1, artificial Earth sttellites ;
- X - satellites Tiros, Telstar and Molnija;
- P - Luna-9 and Lunar Orbiter, spacecrafts used to explore Moon surface;
- O - Mariner-4 and Venera-3, spacecrafts used for planetary exploration;
- B - spacecrafts Vostok and Gemini/Agena;
- G - astronaut in space, out of the spacecraft.
Face value on all six stamps are letters that create acronym EXPO BG. All letters as face values can be used for different postal services, so it should provide that definitive stamps will not be changed before 2027, altrough prices of postal services might be increased.
