Serbia postage stamps year 2006 EUROPA – Children’s Paintings MNH set

🇷🇸 EUROPA/CEPT 2006 – “Integration” / Immigration Theme

• In 2006, Serbia (then part of Serbia and Montenegro) issued a EUROPA (CEPT)-themed miniature sheet commemorating European integration / immigration with artistic designs that resemble children’s paintings or art.
• This issue is part of the annual Europa postage stamp programme, where participating postal administrations issue stamps on a common theme selected each year. The 2006 theme chosen by many countries was integration as seen by young people/children.
• The miniature sheet (often listed as a mini sheet/miniature sheet) shows painting-style artwork — sometimes interpreted or described by collectors as children’s artistic designs linked to the theme of integration or immigration.

Key details collectors note:

• Issued in 2006 as a Europa/CEPT issue.
• Often referred to online with descriptions like “Integration of Immigrants / Painting Art” or “Integration (Kids Art)” on seller listings.
• The souvenir/mini sheet version is typically mint never hinged (MNH) when offered on auction sites.

🖌️ “Joy of Europe” – Children’s Drawings / Children’s Paintings

• In addition to the integration issue, Serbia released a “Joy of Europe” set in 2006 which directly used children’s art/drawings as its design — this appears to be closely tied to children’s creative work and is often categorised with children’s themes.
• These stamps are typically two-value sets (often listed in catalogues as Michel/SER #152-153) featuring children’s artwork in connection with the Joy of Europe festival or children’s cultural event.
• “Joy of Europe” issues celebrate cultural exchange and children’s creativity — some Scottish and other stamp dealers list them under children’s drawings or children’s themes.
