In 2001, the postal authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (under both the Croatian Post and Serbian Post administrations — reflecting the country’s postal structure) issued Europa CEPT stamps with the theme “Water, Treasure of Nature” as part of the annual Europa series.

Europa stamps are issued by European postal administrations each year with a common theme agreed by PostEurop. In 2001 that theme was Water, a treasure of nature.

🧠 Collecting Notes

Values and catalog numbers differ depending on the postal administration and catalog referenced (Michel, Scott, Yvert et al.).

Europa CEPT stamps are popular thematic issues — designed to celebrate a shared topic across Europe each year.

The Bosnia & Herzegovina issues reflect the country’s postal divisions, so you’ll see both Croatian Post and Serbian Post versions for the same theme.
