BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Bosnia and Herzegovina issued their own stamps until 1918. When it was decided to join a union named Yugoslavia. The union consisted of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia, Dalmatia and Slovenia. In 1992 Bosnia and Herzegovina broke away from Yogoslavia and began to issue their own stamps. But the government was split between Muslim, Croat, and Serbs. This created three different types of stamp issues for the country. Some examples of Yugoslavia stamps before 1992, and Muslim, Croat and Serbs stamps after 1992 is as follows:
