Postage stamps and postal history of Serbia

This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of Serbia.

Serbia began to issue its own stamps in 1866. This continued until 1920, when its postal system was merged with the postal system of the former Austro-Hungarian territories with which it formed the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

After the establishment of an independent Serbia in 1941, issuing of stamps resumed until 1944. Initially, Yugoslavian stamps were simply overprinted in German with the word "Serbien".

From 1944 onwards, Serbia was part of Yugoslavia. Upon the dissolution of the union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2006, Serbia began issuing its own stamps once more. The Post of Serbia issues the country's stamps.
