Kosovo (under the administration of the UN at the time) issued a commemorative stamp in 2006 honoring its first President, Ibrahim Rugova, following his death earlier that year.
The stamp is known in philatelic circles by two related titles, reflecting the significance of the event:
- Ibrahim Rugova – International Day of Freedom
- Ibrahim Rugova – International Day of Peace (sometimes mislabeled, but reflecting his known policy of passive resistance and peace advocacy).
- Year of Issue: 2006.
- Context: Ibrahim Rugova, often called the “Father of the Nation,” died on January 21, 2006. The stamp was issued as a tribute to him.
- Format: It is a single commemorative stamp, frequently found in MNH (Mint Never Hinged) condition.
