International philatelic exhibition in Belgrade in 2027
At the recent Philatelic Exhibition, EFIRO 2024, in Bucharest, the Union of Philatelists of Serbia and the Post of Serbia applied to the FIP to host a world philatelic exhibition in Belgrade. The FIP Board of Directors accepted the proposal. Ratification of the decision is expected at the FIP Congress in December in Shanghai. Peter Suhadolc (Slovenia) was appointed FIP Consultant, assisted by Yigal Nathaniel (Israel).
“By entrusting the organisation of a world exhibition, which will be held for the first time in the territory of the former Yugoslavia, Belgrade was honoured, trusted and obliged to become the capital of the world philately within the specialised exhibition EXPO 2027”, stated the Post of Serbia. It was pointed out that Belgrade will have the opportunity to show its rich history and present itself as an open, hospitable city, ready to welcome philatelists and postage stamp enthusiasts from all over the world.
The International Philatelic Exhibition will be organised by the Union of Philatelists of Serbia with the support of the Government of Serbia and the Post of Serbia.
