Serbia year 2002 stamps Liberation of Niksic MNH
The stamp issue you are asking about was released by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FR Yugoslavia, which consisted of Serbia and Montenegro at the time), not an independent Serbia.
The full details are:
- Issuing Entity: Yugoslavia (officially the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia).
- Year of Issue: 2002.
- Theme: 125th Anniversary of the Liberation of Nikšić.
- Context: This stamp commemorated the liberation of the Montenegrin city of Nikšić from Ottoman rule, which occurred in 1877 during the Montenegrin-Ottoman War.
Nikšić is a city in Montenegro (which was part of FR Yugoslavia in 2002), and the event is a significant historical point for the region. The postal administration for both Serbia and Montenegro was unified under the name of Yugoslavia (and later “Serbia and Montenegro”) until 2006.
