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.
Boston 2026 World Expo will feature a panel of 42 distinguished FIP internationally accredited judges from around the world to adjudicate some 3,500 competitive frames of exhibits and nearly 200 literature entries. Representatives from Argentina through the United Kingdom are on the list from 26 nations. The largest contingent is from the United States with 11 among the group.
The Boston 2026 Jury Presidium is headed by President Peter McCann from the U.S. and Honorary President Prakob Chirakiti from Thailand. The team includes regional vice presidents, consultants and secretaries. Photos of most jury members are now posted on the Boston 2026 web site on the Commissioners & Judges tab.
