Yugoslavian Philatelic Links.

The Yugoslavian postal service has a web site including philatelic information at http://posta.ptt.yu/default.asp?case=5 . This information is only available in Serbian, and I have not attempted to translate the headings.

Dr. Nikola Dogovic used to maintain a web site at http://www.geocities.com/WallStreet/4534/program.htm featuring New Issue information for Yugoslavian stamps; this page also features complete listings of stamps for Republika Srpska (Bosnia Herzegovina) and Republika Srpska Krajina (Croatia). However, this site is now unavailable.

The Unicover Corporation market the stamps of Yugoslavia to customers in North America on their web site at http://www.unicover.com/HPRLYUG.HTM.

I also wish to thank Miomir Zivkovic for correcting the information held on this page, and providing me with regular updates.

Information on the World Wide Fund for Nature issue is available from Eurofila from their web site at http://www1.omnitel.net/eurofila/pricelists/wwf.htm .
