Yugoslavia year 2006 stamps – European Nature Protection MNH set

📮 Yugoslavia / Serbia & Montenegro – 2006 Europa “European Nature Protection”

• In the 2006 postal issues list for the former Yugoslavia (actually still operating as Yugoslavia/Serbia & Montenegro at that time), there is a stamp listed with the description “European Nature Protection” issued on 20 June 2006 with a denomination (catalog listing) around 0,50 €. This is part of the Europa (CEPT) stamp series for that year.
• The Europa series is an annual joint issue by European postal administrations (under PostEurop / CEPT), each year around a common theme. In 2006 the general Europa theme was “Integration as seen by young people”, but individual countries often include sub-themes such as nature, water, culture etc. in their own designs.
• This European Nature Protection stamp from Yugoslavia/Serbia–Montenegro (often listed in catalogues as RS031.06) commemorates nature conservation in Europe as part of the Europa tradition.

📌 Design & Details

• Unfortunately specific design imagery (what the stamp depicts) isn’t available from the catalogue lists I can access. Typically, Europa stamps tied to Nature Protection show symbols of nature, such as plants, animals, landscapes, or stylised representations of Europe and ecology — similar to earlier Protection of Nature issues from Yugoslavia in past decades (e.g., 1970 issues depicted flora and fauna).
• If you have the stamp in hand or a picture, checking the catalog number (e.g., RS031.06) against a detailed stamp catalogue like Michel, Scott, Yvert & Tellier or StampWorld could give exact design info and value data.

🧾 Philatelic Context

• At the time of the issue (2006), the postal administration was effectively serving Serbia and Montenegro under the name Yugoslavia. This was shortly before the country split definitively in mid-2006.
• Europa stamps are popular with collectors because they highlight cultural and environmental themes and are recognized across many European postal services.
