Yugoslavia year 1990 stamps – European Athletics Champ. Split MNH **

Yes, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) issued a set of stamps in 1990 to commemorate the European Athletics Championships held in Split, Croatia (then part of Yugoslavia).

The issue typically consisted of a set of two stamps:

1. Value 1 (e.g., 1 Dinar): Often depicted the start of a race.
2. Value 2 (e.g., 6.50 Dinars): Often depicted the feet of runners in action.

The stamps celebrated the major international sporting event, which took place from August 26 to September 2, 1990, at the Stadion Poljud in Split. This event was historically significant as it was one of the last major international sporting events hosted by the country before the start of its breakup.

In addition to the main set, there may also have been a related charity stamp (surcharged stamp) or a commemorative souvenir sheet issued for the event.
