After a successful four-year period, the Society of Philatelists and Numismatics of the Canton of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) enthusiastically started the year with a new board and new events. To mark the 40th anniversary of the 1984 Winter Olympics, the Society of Philatelists and Numismatics of the Canton of Sarajevo, in cooperation with the City of Sarajevo and the Mayor Benjamina Karić, as well as the Bosnian Cultural Center, and Artis Center hosted a special exhibition showcasing stamps, first day covers, and commemorative coins celebrating the Games and their enduring legacy.
