Bosnia – R. Srpska year 2006 – Europa CEPT stamps full set
In 2006, the Pošte Srpske (the postal service of Republika Srpska, one of the three postal administrations in Bosnia and Herzegovina) issued a set of two stamps for the annual Europa CEPT series.
The common European theme for 2006 was “Integration” (as seen by young people). While the theme was shared across Europe, each postal service produced its own unique interpretation.
The 2006 “Integration” Set
Republika Srpska’s contribution featured artistic, symbolic designs rather than literal depictions. These stamps are often sought after because of the unique tripartite postal system in Bosnia, where collectors often try to get all three versions (Sarajevo, Mostar, and Banja Luka) to complete the year.
| Face Value | Description / Motif | Theme |
| 0.70 KM | Symbolic Hands/Figure | A stylized design representing youth and the connection between different cultures or people. |
| 1.50 KM | Abstract Integration | A companion design continuing the artistic exploration of “Integration” from a youth perspective. |
