Notification of the Ministry of internal affairs of Serbian Principality to foreign consulates notifying them that they can send their mail twice a week to the provinces of Serbia, on this day in 1840, announced the beginning of the public postal traffic in our country. The first post office was established in Belgrade, exactly 171 years ago. Soon after, Serbia received a place in the world postal system, as one of 22 founding states of Universal Postal Union. Since 1840, there has been 48 postal stations in Serbia that performed postal traffic with outward postal stamp. Modern Post with its widespread business network of more than 1,500 branch office, provides postal services that are available to all citizens on the level that is very close to European standards, in terms of the number of citizens pre one unite of postal network as well as in terms of deadlines and quality of delivery. Connection of all the business unites, automation of business activities, possibility of working on-line and ambitious plans for future development have already maid it recognizable and almost irreplaceable infrastructure system in the plans of the Republic of Serbia to make citizens closer to the larger number of public services. Thanks to that, and despite the very hard macroeconomic crises, the Post of Serbia was able to increase the volume of services, achieve revenue growth and start new strategic projects, significant not only for transformation of postal traffic but for the infrastructure potential of the country. These projects are primarily focused on building of the regional postal logistic centres for the automated sorting of postal items, on the development of modern services significant for e-government, for e-business and for the everyday life of economy and citizens.

Post of Serbia announced in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia No. 27, from the20th of April, a Public Call for public procurement of technological concepts and equipment for the automated sorting of postal items – MPC Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš, PP No. 45/2011 and a Public Call for submission of bids for the subject public procurement. The complete text of the public call is available for download here. Post of Serbia implemented in the newly opened post office in Belgrade the new information system, which the Post developed on its own, and which will in the future immensely improve the quality and speed of service providing in more than 1,500 post offices across Serbia. Post of Serbia opened a new post office in 14–18 Katićeva Street, which is unique in Serbia because it will use a completely new information system – PostTIS. The whole IT solution was done by our experts, for which we are very proud. It is important to emphasize that with this new counter application we have informatically covered all the processes within the units of the postal network, integrated more software solutions on the Company level and thereby improved the overall operations of the Post of Serbia. This was a great challenge for us from the Post of Serbia and it is illustrated by the fact that we have used our own intellect, knowledge and experience to successfully complete a project PostTIS and thus provide full automation and integration of the following activities: collection, sorting and delivery of postal items, financial transactions (payment of utility services, banking, payment system), electronic communications (telegrams, electronic and postal money orders, cash express), trading, Post’s Business services operations, support for Post’s Call Center, claims and inquiry procedures. Also, the operations of the Post over the Internet with legal persons improved, by developing web applications for the collection of express items (Web Express), as well as sales of goods over the Internet (Web shop). We are proud for being one of few postal administrations, that improved its operations solely from its own resources. PostTIS will significantly affect the process of postal service providing and the overall operations of the Post: for users - faster performance of services, reducing queuing, automation of the claims procedure, for management - quality business reports for management decision making, and for society as a whole - system that is ready at any moment to respond to the complex demands of the modern counter operations. Commissioning of PostTIS in the newly opened office in Katićeva street is a starting point in the process of implementation of this complex project, which will be realized in the following period in more than 1,500 post office in Serbia, which will further enhance opportunities for existing multiservice network PostNet to which they are all connected. On 13 January, Mr Goran Ćirić, Chief Executive Officer of the Public Enterprise of PTT Communications “Srbija”, and Mr Milovan Marković, Chief Executive Officer of the Public Enterprise of “Serbian Railways”, signed the Agreement on joint construction of telecommunication infrastructure on railway corridors, in total length of 2,031 km. Both of the enterprises will use a part of the constructed capacities (optical fibres) for the modernization of its own operational processes and implementation of the strategic projects, and the free capacities will be used to render telecommunications and other services to the third parties. By this construction of telecommunication infrastructure, the Post of Serbia will connect the main postal centres for the postal items processing in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš, as well as the seats of the working units throughout Serbia. At the same time, this infrastructure will create a foundation for provision of e-administration services. For the Serbian Railways, this infrastructure will present a vital point of digital railway communications and it is primarily designed for purposes of railway processes management and improvement of railway traffic security. The telecommunication infrastructure along railway tracks will be constructed in phases, according to priorities, as follows: - 1st phase – 444 km on the railway tracks: Belgrade hub, Belgrade-Niš and Belgrade - Šid; These works are worth 5,328,000 Euros; - 2nd phase – 412 km on the railway tracks: Stara Pazova-Subotica, Niš- Dimitrovgrad and Niš-Preševo; These works are worth 4,944,000 Euros; - 3rd phase – 1,175 km on the railway tracks: Belgrade-Vrbnica and other tracks of the Republic of Serbia; these works are worth 14.100.000 Euros. The Government of the Republic of Serbia granted its approval for this strategic business cooperation but also the investment and technological undertaking of the Post and Railways of Serbia. This event was also attended by Ms Jasna Matić, Serbian Minister for Telecommunications and IT Society, and by Mr Slavoljub Vukićević, the Serbian Secretary in the Ministry of Infrastructure. The Post of Serbia has today released a special issue postal stamp featuring our golden tennis players: Novak Djokovic, Viktor Troicki, Nenad Zimonjic and Janko Tipsarevic - all members of the Serbian tennis national team, the winner of Davis Cup 2010. Philatelic issues in honour of Davis Cup winners are often issued. Russia, Australia and other countries issued postal stamps on this topic before, but the Post of Serbia is the first postal administration in the world which managed - within 24 hours upon the finals finished - to release such a special issue. The issue circulation is 38,000 stamps; it is printed in sheets of eight pieces with a vignette in the middle of it, picturing a well-known “salad bowl”, a trophy which is awarded to the winner of the most prestigious men’s team championship. The stamp creator Jakša J. Vlahovic was entrusted with the artistic processing of this issue. The whole stamp circulation was printed in the Institute for Manufacturing Banknotes and Coins in Belgrade, by the technique of multicolour offset printing. The stamps „DAVIS CUP SERBIAN NATIONAL TEAM - WORLD CHAMPION OF 2010“ will be distributed to the counters of all major post offices, with the date of issue 6 December 2010. This date is also shown on the „first day“ special impression.


Today is the World Post Day. Again this year, the Public Enterprise of PTT Communications “Srbija” marks the World Post Day - October 9th. On this very day in 1874 the Establishing Congress of the Universal Postal Union, one of the first and the biggest international non-governmental organisations, took place in Bern. Twenty-two postal administrations participated at the Establishing Congress, among which was the Principality of Serbia, which speaks for itself about the reputation of our country in that-time European and world frameworks. Nowadays, 136 years later, the Post of Serbia is an equal member of the global postal family as an important service deeply embedded in the everyday personal habits and the economic life of the country. The decision to celebrate the October 9th as the World Post Day was adopted at the UPU Congress held in 1939 in Buenos Aires. At the moment, the Universal Postal Union has 191 member countries, which create a unique postal territory and the widest distribution network for physical conveyance of items. The international post speaks 6,800 languages of its customers, and in the safe, efficient and economic manner it facilitates the exchange of goods, of capital, ideas and thoughts. The basic mission of the Universal Postal Union is the improvement of the universal postal service, since the reliable and accessible postal services are considered as the basic human rights. The posts throughout the world still process over 483 billion letters annually, but the future of this business lies in its ability to adjust to the digitalised market, as the UPU Director General, Mr Eduard Dayan has asserted on the occasion of the World Post Day. The most recent data also confirm this fact, quoting that 65 per cent of the public postal operators in the world offer on-line services, apart from the bill and postage payments and deliveries of items. Additional 12 per cent go to Internet sales, and some 40 per cent to ISP services. The posts of many countries increase the volume of parcel services at the rate of 20 per cents annually, thanks to the e-commerce development. It is getting common that posts offer customised financial and electronic services and modernise logistic and administrative services. Such business policy creates the opportunity for new jobs and support to local companies, stressed out Mr Dayan, stating the example of the study done in Brazil. Namely, according to the research conducted in more than 5,500 Brazilian municipalities, the opening of a postal savings bank branch in just one municipality had increased the number of new jobs by 14%, and the number of new SMEs by 23% in the period of four years.
