Montenegro postage stamps year 2004 Philatelist exhibition MSS

Montenegro has a rich philatelic history dating back to 1874 when it issued its first postage stamps as an independent principality. The country’s stamps are particularly interesting to collectors because they reflect Montenegro’s complex political history, including periods of independence, union with Serbia, and incorporation into Yugoslavia before regaining independence in 2006.

Major philatelic exhibitions in Montenegro typically take place in Podgorica, the capital city, and occasionally in coastal cities like Budva. These events often feature:

• Displays of historic Montenegrin stamps
• Collections showing the postal history of the Balkans region
• International dealer participation
• Competitive exhibition categories
• Educational programs about stamp collecting
