For over four decades, Dan-Simion Grecu has dedicated himself to the systematic study of Romanian postal history, with a particular focus on the most turbulent periods of the 20th century. His extensive 560-page A4 colour monograph, Civilian Postal Censorship in Romanian History, 1914–1928, represents the ultimate reference work on civil censorship in Romania during 1914–1928. The volume provides a comprehensive analysis of postal censorship handstamps and practices throughout the geography of both old and present-day Romania, highlighting the influence of major regional powers such as Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia, France, and Turkey.
All recorded censorship markings are illustrated on complete postal items that are thoroughly explained or through enlarged details showing wear over time. The richly illustrated English-language study offers researchers worldwide the latest and most detailed information on censorship markings from this era. In addition to documenting the markings themselves, the work supplies numerous historical insights that help readers understand the broader context in which these handstamps were used.

Denmark has opened its doors to everyone for this year’s virtual exhibition, which combines both a local (club) exhibition and a national exhibition. A total of 20 exhibits across Traditional Philately, Postal History, Postal Stationery, Open Philately, and Literature are on display. All are invited to explore the exhibits here: https://www.kpk.dk/udstillinger/kpk138.
The exhibition marks the 138th anniversary of Denmark’s oldest philatelic society: Kjøbenhavns Philatelist Klub (Copenhagen Philatelic Society), KPK.
The exhibits cover a remarkable range of topics, including British Halfpence, German Eagle Shields, Estonia 1918–20, Sweden Coat-of-Arms, Bulgaria 1879–1920, Irish overprints, Danish Settlements in India, The Danish Footpost, and many more. Please take a look at the exhibits!
All exhibit pages are available as high-resolution scans from 15–23 November. The jurors have already begun their individual evaluations and will meet on 22 November. On that day, exhibitors bring their physical exhibits in the morning so the jury can mount and inspect them one at a time, ensuring the physical material matches the scans. Throughout the day, the jury discusses and finalises the results, and in the afternoon, exhibitors return to collect their exhibits and receive personal feedback.
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.
