2015 year coming (first half of it):

As I'm still under influence of 2014 year, I can not to mention that someone in Post of Montenegro, simply say, don't have clue what is TOPICAL in Philately!

But, let's start:

1-2015 Art in Montenegro:


Feb. 5, 2015: two value in set, one can be included in Historical Building and second in Museum Artifact - hardly that it can be selected as ART in Montenegro!

2-2015 Monastery OSTROG:



March 12, 2015: One that I admire well! Even that I'm not religious man, that I'm not in any religion, one that I never visited! I admire it for other people testimonies, and for role that it have in history!
Artist still made poor job, as to take one photo from spot, and made one home work, nothing more than that!

3-2015 Flamingo:



March 12, 2015: You really think that Flamingo is "bird of nation"?
No, it is not, as Flamingo can be spotted seasonally in just one place in whole Montenegro. But, someone decided to include it as important to be on Montenegro post stamp!

4-2015 EUROPA issue:



April 16, 2015: It is common in year to issue this topic, and this year it was "Children's Toys", so Post of Montenegro made also!
Nice? Not so, as still they use "hard" color in design!

5-2015 Cetinje mentioning:


May 5, 2015: One issue that can be put on postage stamp, as CETINJE is very old city, and have big role in history! Stamp is too small for picture that they put on, so You will need big lens to enjoy in old picture and see all detail on it!

6-2015 Kite Surfing:



May 8, 2015: this issue have name "Tourism" - can You imagine it?
Put it under name of sport, it will be fine! If You made "Tourism" topic, made stamp that will show us tourism sites, beach, mountain, spa, hotels.....

7-2015: Nature - Tree:



May 13, 2015: It is put under name "Environment Protection", and stamp will show us one very old tree, half alive, so we will think that it is one very-very old tree, which is alive thanks to good environment situation in Montenegro! In principle, good one design.

8-2015: Euro-Basket Championship:



May 22, 2015: Sport event that was really important for Montenegro, as other countries also made this issue. But again, artist fail in all aspect of design! Using olive oil, than hard red/orange in combination - overall feeling of this issue is so dark, so confusing!!!

2014/2015 RED Cross and Postage Due:


As I don't know exactly date of issue, this seven stamp will be here show, just as is.
It is postage due, which was obligatory on all mail delivered between specific time, little bit is confusing that this stamps don't have written value, so public actually don't know how much to pay.
There is name as :Red Cross day", "Red Cross Week", "Fight TBC Week", all in prosper to collect little bit income for Red Cross Organization!

End of 2010 year

Finally - I received rest from 2010 year. What to say about service from Montenegro Post is nothing good, too late with delivery, money in advance, damaged stamp delivered, printing sheet without border (border is removed) - and explanation is "delivered what was available"! God, which kind of responsibility!

But, it is Balkan! I like it - even that all is in bad shape, people there live "easy" life. Yes - Post of Montenegro have some "strange" system - what to do?!

Here we go with:

13-2010 "Personalities" (Duke & Printer):



Issued on Nov. 16, 2010, single stamp. face value of 0.50 euro, design is simple as can be, nothing special and not something that "catch" Your eye!

14-2010 "Stamp Day":



Issued on Nov. 2, 2010, also one single stamp, face value 0.30 euro, again some amateur design, with too much color - but message are something in "style" to tell us that all races on this planet use mail and stamp?

15-2010 "Joy of Europe":




continue with this topic, every year it come out, even that i really don't know what for? The "good time" of Europe are gone, people are without any kind of "joy" - and still we print this issue - probably intention is just to take money, and rise income - nothing more than that. Even design is far from good, but if we take in mind that it is done by children, it will be accepted.

16-2010 "Legacy from Past":




set of four stamp, Duklja (Archeology - Coin), Mosque, I. Mazuranic (writer), and Miroslav's Holly Writing - face value not cheap - 2.40 euro, for Montenegro standard is expensive - and again this poor design! Except "Coin" and Holly writing - which are relatively good design, other two are less than minimum. Probably just collectors of "Mosque on Stamp" will need it in collection.

17-2010 "Nature Protection - environment":




Again and again they made so ugly design! This important topic need to be more "eye catching" - more with clear message, more "feeling" in design, but what we received is just "children home work" - nothing to say good.

Hope that 2011 will bring us more "clever" issues and more professional design - just hope?
