UNION OF PHILATELISTS OF MACEDONIA – 70 YEARS OLD
Congratulations to the Union of Philatelists of Macedonia which celebrated its 70th birthday on 19th March.
The Union, led by President Sinisha Pavleski and President of the Executive Board Dimitar Belchev, has a rich legacy of philatelic activities over the last 70 years during which it has worked in close cooperation with other societies in the region. It remembers its founders with pride and planned to hold a modest celebration of the anniversary at its premises on 19 March. Regrettably at the last minute these plans had to be put on hold due to the coronavirus emergency but they were able to mark the occasion in spirit.
We salute the Union’s achievements over 70 years and send warmest best wishes to them for the next 70!
OSTROPA 2020 POSTPONED
The Organising Committee of OSTROPA 2020, which was scheduled to be held at the Russian House for Science and Culture in Berlin from 25 – 28 June 2020, has decided with great regret to postpone the exhibition because of the coronavirus crisis.
The Committee is now looking for alternative dates in Autumn 2020 so that exhibitors can still qualify at OSTROPA for IBRA 2021.
OSTROPA is a Class 1 exhibition with participation from eleven countries in Eastern Europe. It has FEPA Recognition and AIJP Patronage. It has already generated a lot of enthusiasm from collectors, dealers and auction houses and the Organising Committee hopes that this interest will be maintained when the new dates are announced to make the exhibition a great success.
