Yugoslavia year 1986 stamps Universiade in Zagreb games full set MNH**
Yugoslavia did issue a stamp set to commemorate the Universiade in Zagreb, which was the XIV Summer Universiade.
However, the main set was actually issued over two years in anticipation of the event:
- Year of Issue: The primary commemorative stamps were issued in 1986. (The games themselves were held in Zagreb, SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia from July 8–19, 1987).
- Event Commemorated: XIV Summer Universiade, Zagreb 1987.
- Number of Stamps in the Full Set (1986 issue): The main set issued in 1986 is generally listed as consisting of 4 stamps.
- Theme/Design: The designs typically featured various sporting events or a combination of the Universiade logo/mascot (the squirrel Zagi) and an athlete or a sporting venue.
It is common for host countries to issue stamps in the year leading up to a major event like the Universiade. There was also likely a smaller, single stamp or a supplementary issue released closer to or in the year 1987.
