Aleksandar Boričić (1946–2026)

We are saddened to announce that Aleksandar Boričić, doyen of Serbian philately, distinguished exhibitor and former President of the Union of Philatelists of Serbia, has passed away.

As a philatelist, he was a tireless collector and a profound connoisseur of philatelic material across a wide spectrum, leaving an indelible mark on Serbian philately. As an exhibitor, he was the most awarded Serbian philatelist, receiving numerous gold medals at world, regional and national philatelic exhibitions for several exhibits, including Postal History of Montenegro 1799–1916, Serbia Postal History 1755–1915, First World War in Serbia, The Usage of Postage Due Issues of Serbia, and Partisan Correspondence of Yugoslavia 1943–1945. For his exhibit Serbia Postal History 1755–1915, he was also awarded the Grand Prix at the regional exhibition BALKANFILA 2012.

His approach to philately and his understanding of it as cultural heritage will remain a lasting inspiration for future generations.
