Yugoslavia/Serbia year 2000 – Airmail / Airships – Stamp Day MNH

The postal administration of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FR Yugoslavia) issued a stamp to mark Stamp Day in 2000, and the theme was related to Airships, specifically the centennial of the first Zeppelin flight.

Here are the key details for this specific stamp:

• Issuing Authority: PTT Jugoslavije (Post of Yugoslavia) / FR Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).
• Year of Issue: 2000.
• Issue Date (Approx.): September 26, 2000 (often the date for Stamp Day releases).
• Theme: Stamp Day – Centenary of the First Zeppelin Flight (100th Anniversary of the Zeppelin).
• Subject: The stamp prominently features an image of an Airship or Zeppelin, commemorating the inaugural flight of the rigid airship designed by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin on July 2, 1900.
• Composition: It was typically a single commemorative value stamp, often available in a sheet of 25.

This issue connected the annual “Stamp Day” celebration with a major historical event in aviation and postal history (Airmail), as Zeppelins were significant for long-distance airmail transport in the early 20th century.
