Note on Bosnian Issues:
It is important to remember that general issues of postage stamps in Bosnia and Herzegovina during this period (2002) were usually released by three separate postal administrations:
- BH Pošta (Sarajevo)
- HP Mostar (Croatian Post)
- Pošte Srpske (Republika Srpska)
However, a commemorative issue like this, featuring an international celebrity, is often associated primarily with the HP Mostar administration for collectors. The other two administrations may have had different, unrelated commemorative issues around the same time.
