Postage Stamps – “Joy of Europe”

Serbia (and previously Yugoslavia) has issued several commemorative postage stamps dedicated to this festival over the years. These stamps typically feature:

Children’s drawings and artwork
Festive and joyful themes (music, dance, and unity)
Bright and colorful designs

Some key stamp issues include:

1970s–1990s: Yugoslavia issued multiple stamps celebrating “Joy of Europe,” often featuring playful and artistic motifs.
2000s & later: Serbia continued the tradition, releasing stamps with contemporary children’s designs and themes of peace and friendship.
