Commemorative postage stamps in honour of famous Slovenians

On February 13, the Post of Serbia will publish an issue of commemorative postage stamps "Serbia-Slovenia: Our Greats" dedicated to three famous Slovenians who influenced the history of the Serbian people with their endeavours and achievements.

The issue of commemorative postage stamps "Serbia-Slovenia: Our Greats" is published in honour of three jubilees - 270 years since the birth of the great Slovenian mathematician and artillery officer Jurij Vega, who contributed to the liberation of Belgrade from the Turks in 1788, 155 years since the reception of the great the linguist of the Serbian and Slovenian languages Franz Miklosich to the Serbian Learned Society, and 155 years since the birth of the great Slovenian chemist Friderik Pregl, winner of the Nobel Prize.

Highlighting the lives and achievements of these great men, the Post of Serbia contributes to a positive image of the shared history of the Serbian and Slovenian people in the domestic and Slovenian public and to the promotion of good relations and friendship between Serbia and Slovenia.
