Serbia year 2007 stamp European Youth Olympic Festival MNH(**)
In 2007, Serbia hosted the 9th European Youth Summer Olympic Festival (EYOF) in Belgrade. To mark the event, the Serbian postal service (Pošta Srbije) issued a special commemorative souvenir sheet that is a staple for Olympic topical collectors.
1. The 2007 EYOF Souvenir Sheet
The issue was released in July 2007 to coincide with the games, which took place from July 21 to 28.
| Feature | Description |
| Main Image | Features stylized athletes and the official EYOF Belgrade 2007 logo. |
| Denomination | 46.00 dinars (often appearing as two stamps of 46.00 dinars within the sheet). |

| Scott No. | 392 |

Design Highlights
The souvenir sheet is visually striking, using the vibrant colors of the Olympic rings. The design focuses on the “Spirit of Youth” and features the Olympic flame alongside modern, energetic illustrations of sports like athletics and swimming.
2. Additional “Doplatna” (Tax) Stamps
In addition to the official commemorative sheet, Serbia issued semi-postal (tax) stamps to help fund the organization of the games.
- These are smaller, simpler stamps that were mandatory on all domestic mail for a short period in 2007.
- They typically feature the EYOF logo and the text “EYOF 2007 BEOGRAD.”
- Because they were used in high volume, they are very common in “used” condition on local envelopes from that year.
