Bosnia ( Sarajevo ) postage stamp year 1997 – Lady Diana / Flowers
The Lady Diana / Flowers stamp was issued by the Bosnian postal administration based in Sarajevo, officially BH Pošta (Bosnia and Herzegovina Post).
It was issued shortly after the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in August 1997, and was particularly poignant because she had visited Bosnia just weeks before her death to campaign against landmines.

⚠️ Note on Bosnian Stamps in 1997
As with many issues from Bosnia and Herzegovina during this period, it is important to note that three separate postal administrations were operating in 1997, and at least two of them issued distinct stamps honoring Princess Diana:
- BH Pošta (Sarajevo): The 2.50 KM stamp described above, featuring flowers.
- Pošte Srpske (Serbian Administration): Also issued a pair of commemorative stamps for Princess Diana around the same time.
The stamp you are asking about, mentioning Sarajevo and the flower motif, is the BH Pošta issue.
