An exhibition at the PTT Museum, Belgrade, Serbia

A philatelic exhibition titled “Aviation of Serbia 1910–1919 and Airmail of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia 1923–1941” was formally opened at the PTT Museum in Belgrade on Monday, 10 November 2025, dedicated to the pioneers of Serbian aviation and their contribution to the development of postal communication.

The exhibition is jointly organised by the Serbian Post (JP Pošta Srbije), the PTT Museum, and the Union of Philatelists of Serbia, in cooperation with exhibitor Aleksandar Boričić—an internationally recognised sports administrator, long-time official of sports organisations, and passionate philatelist.

This project, exceptional in both scope and importance, presents original postal and archival material documenting the development of Serbian and Yugoslav aviation during the first half of the 20th century. The display covers the period from the earliest aviation experiments and the achievements of flight pioneers to the establishment of the airmail service as a symbol of technological progress and a modern state. It also includes the interwar period, when the Kingdom of Yugoslavia became part of the European airmail network.

Through authentic postal items, photographs, and documents, the exhibition brings to life the beginnings of Serbian aviation and illustrates how air transport and postal services developed side by side, representing one of the most fascinating aspects of the nation’s postal history.

The exhibition is open to visitors from 12 to 30 November 2025 at the PTT Museum, 13 Majke Jevrosime Street, Belgrade.
