The story of the postage
stamps and postal history of Yugoslavia officially begins with the
formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in
1918. .
Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia-Slavonia actually issued stamps for
the new regime. In Croatia-Slavonia, stamps of Hungary overprinted
with "HRVATSKA / SHS" went on sale and in Slovenia, design work began at
this time, with the first stamps of the Verigar issue .
Croatia-Slavonia issued their own designs of stamps in 1919 as well. . Slovenia issued additional
allegorical designs in 1919, along with high values depicting King Peter
I.
The first stamps intended for use throughout the kingdom were issued in
1921. In 1923, the higher
values were replaced by the image of now-King Alexander. Variations on
the design appeared in issues of 1924 and 1926 .
In 1931, a new series was the first to be inscribed "JUGOSLAVIA". The
old series of 1926 was also overprinted with the new name, in 1933.
After Alexander's assassination in 1934, the 1931 issues were
re-issued with black borders, and in 1935, the first anniversary of his
death was marked by an issue of five stamps depicting the young King Peter II.
The first non-royal on a Yugoslavian stamp.was Serbian-American inventor
Nikola Tesla, honored on his 80th birthday in 1930 , followed by last
series issued showing an older Peter II .
During the occupations of World War II,
Slovenia was under Italian and then German occupation; the Italians
overprinted Yugoslavian stamps, while the Germans overprinted Italian
stamps and then in 1945 issued a series of 16 stamps depicting local
scenery and inscribed "PROVINZ LAIBACH" and "LJUBLJANSKA POKRAJINA".
Serbia was under German occupation, which overprinted Yugoslav stamps
with "SERBIEN", and later its own stamps while Croatia became a puppet
state issuing its own stamps.
The federal republic began its own stamp issues in 1944 with
overprints of Serbian stamps, followed in early 1945 by a series
depicting Josip Broz Tito.
After the war, the Allied occupation issued a series of 13 pictorial
stamps for Istria and the Slovene coast (Zone B), while Trieste became a
free territory issuing its own stamps, mostly inscribed "STT VUJA",
until its division in 1954.
The republic began frequent issues of pictorial and propaganda stamps
from 1947 .Beginning in 1958,
the definitives depicted industrial progress in various forms, with
several re-issues until 1966. In 1967, the 75th birthday of Tito
was marked with a series of his profile, and new stamps oappeared until 1972.
The breakup of Yugoslavia had little effect on its stamp issues,
although most were sold only to collectors
