Serbia year 2005 Europa CEPT Gastronomy stamps set MNH**

The stamps for the Europa CEPT “Gastronomy” theme in 2005 were issued by Serbia and Montenegro, as the two countries were in a state union at that time.

The set was composed of two main stamps, each depicting a traditional Serbian dish or product:

1. Rakija: The traditional Serbian fruit brandy.
2. Cherry Pie (Višnja pita): A popular dessert.

Additionally, a popular traditional spread was featured in the thematic context:

• Ajvar: A relish made principally from roasted red peppers and eggplant, mentioned as a key gastronomic element on related philatelic items.

The stamps celebrated the culinary heritage of the country as part of the unified European theme for that year.
