Additional Context
- Background on St. Vasilije of Ostrog:
He is a much venerated saint in the Orthodox Christian tradition, particularly in Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Serbia. He became Metropolitan of Herzegovina and is known for his strong faith, monastic life, and eventual residence at Ostrog, where the monastery became a place of pilgrimage. - Stamp usage: Likely meant for regular mail (religious/personality commemoration), not especially high value or rare — more of a commemorative issue. The €0.50 face suggests moderate postal utility.
