Can anyone here tell me if any stamps have been issued for Kosovo since
the UNMIK set of 5 in 2000? These were denominated in DM, but Kosovo
seems to use the euro now.

RCSD Album Page Award - index update by
Bob Watson
Just a note to say that, as far as I am aware, as of time of writing the
index page is up to date and all links are working.
And I think we have a competition!
So far there there are 12 pages listed and already it seems to me that
"picking a best" will be no easy task.
All the best,
Bob Watson
