Bosnia ( Sarajevo ) year 2004 -Europa CEPT – Holidays stamps

The stamps you are asking about are part of the annual EUROPA CEPT series, and because of the political division in Bosnia and Herzegovina, three different postal administrations issued their own versions of the theme in 2004.

Since you specifically mentioned Sarajevo, you are referring to the issues released by JP BH Pošta (Bosnia and Herzegovina Post) which is based in Sarajevo.

🛑 Important Note on Bosnian Issues

Bosnia and Herzegovina issues stamps from three different postal administrations, all of which released their own 2004 Europa sets:

1. BH Pošta (Sarajevo): (The set described above with the “Alarm Clock” designs.)
2. HP Mostar (Croatian Post, Mostar): Also issued a set for the “Holidays” theme.
3. Pošte Srpske (Serbian Post, Banja Luka): Also issued a set for the “Holidays” theme.

Collecting all three 2004 sets from Bosnia and Herzegovina is a popular challenge for thematic collectors!
