🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina – Mostar (2009) International Water Day

The postal administration responsible for these stamps, Hrvatska pošta Mostar (Croatian Post Mostar), issued two commemorative stamps on the theme of International Water Day, featuring the Pliva Lakes and their historic watermills.

• Issue Date: March 22, 2009 (International Water Day).
• Designer: Siniša Skenderija.
• Theme: Pliva Lakes (Plivska jezera) and the historic mills (Mlinčići) near Jajce.
• Location Significance: The Pliva River, with its two lakes and cascade system, is an area of unique natural and ethnographic value in central Bosnia.

I. Stamp Details

The issue consisted of two individual stamps, depicting different views of the Pliva Lakes area, highlighting the natural beauty and the distinctive wooden watermills.

The stamps were issued in small sheets and also available as a complete set.

II. Collector Value (Approximate Retail)

Since these were a relatively modern commemorative issue with a focused print quantity (often around 50,000 for Mostar issues of this era), their value is primarily determined by their condition.

Note on Value:

As with most modern stamps, the value is low, reflecting the common availability. Collectors are primarily interested in the attractive water theme and the country’s unique philatelic nature (being one of three separate postal administrations in Bosnia and Herzegovina).
