Croatia / Serbian Krajina year 1997 Europa stamps / Tales and Legends MNH**
The entity known as Serbian Krajina (or the Republic of Serbian Krajina – RSK) did issue stamps in 1997 for the EUROPA CEPT theme of “Tales and Legends,” although this was issued by the postal administration of the remaining territory under Serbian control at the time, specifically the Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia (Srijem-Baranja Oblast) region, often referred to in philately as the UNTAES period (United Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium).
