Kosovo Question
Would anyone have information about this stamp?
http://cjoint.com/?BBzeHfgVvAc It appears to be an issue of the "Republic of Kosova", (not Kosovo), which existed from 1990-2000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Kosova Thank You Blair |

sharpened a crayon and wrote: hello it's a very curious stamp = The Republic of Kosova disappeared in 2000 but the Euro exists since 2002. Why this stamp is in Euro ? Others may know the actual stroy, but I've been told that there are firms printing 'bogus' stamps for countries that either don't uissue, or are no longer 'soverign'. |

So that MIGHT explain why the stamp is in Euros and COULD be issurd after 2002. However, it appears to me that there are illegal stamp on the market, pretending to be legal stamps. Here are two copies of a Kosovo stamp from 2009. They were used as postage on a letter to the USA in 2011. Please note the country name in three languages at the top. http://cjoint.com/12ma/BCbsy5mjwzz.htm I have never heard anything about the overprints. Finally, here is an obvious illegal Kosova set from 2000. One give away is that the inscriptions are in ENGLISH only. http://cjoint.com/12ma/BCbs4wcWvQ6.htm The overprint is still a mystery. Blair |

Kosovo Question
..
Here are two copies of a Kosovo stamp from 2009. *They were used as postage on a letter to the USA in 2011. *Please note the country name in three languages at the top.http://cjoint.com/12ma/BCbsy5mjwzz.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This one sample is stamp issued by Kosovo (self-declared Independent) Post Authority, and without any authorization from Serbia (Kosovo are still part of Serbia, just one autonomy), probably Scott catalog and Michel will register them because it is "Official" issue from country that Germany and USA recognized, but no UN recognized it, and also no UPU have it. Finally, here is an obvious illegal Kosova set from 2000. One give away is that the inscriptions are in ENGLISH only.http://cjoint.com/12ma/BCbs4wcWvQ6.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And this "Formula" issue is one great "label" issue, that some stamp dealer (from England) have in stock, and still offering it around. Not worth one dime from collectors point, but people have it like "label" and some kind of propaganda. The overprint is still a mystery. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not mystery at all, this is overprint made by "privat" person, mean illegal overprint, made on official stamp issued in Yugoslavia. This is done on many other countries, like if You have some samples from SSSR with some kind of "independent" republic overprint on regular SSSR stamp. Again one nice attempt to "stole" from collectors. best regards to all Milco http://picasaweb.google.com/balkanstamp |

Kosovo Question
The complex question of the international recognition of Kosovo is covered by the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...tion_of_Kosovo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just "We" need to be informed, that Wikipedia is written by any one who want to contribute information, and NOT by official or any other recognized institution. I understand well that some countries recognized Kosovo like "Independent", but still UN and EU didn't recognized it - and that mean, Kosovo IS NOT independent, and that again mean - all stamp with Kosovo name that don't have clearly UN mark on it are illegal. Samples that is shown in this discussion, with Kosovo stamp legally used in the mail to USA, is possible just because USA is one (from around 30% of whole UN countries that recognized Kosovo) that provide direct post link from Kosovo to USA, and (just to mention) former secretary of USA have there personal company with exclusive right and monopoly on all telecommunication and postal activity. Because Kosovo stamp issues aren't listed as illegal stamps by the UPU IB Circulars (as Serbia hasn't denounced them?), they haven't an official illegal status. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is not so correct, because UPU still don't have right to recognize independence of any country around world, it is same if You will say for Abhazia, Nagorno karabah, Transilvania - both this stamp are not stated in UPU like illegal, because it in not job of UPU to be "world" police or court room. FWIW, Michel online lists Kosovo stamp issues (a total of 83 sets) between March 15, 2000 and Dec. 26, 2011. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Must to correct You, that Michel catalog have it recorded under UN - Kosovo administration that made very-very big difference, and if You see, on this stamp is very clearly stated and printed, "UN Administrated Kosovo". best regards to all Milco http://picasaweb.google.com/balkanstamp |
