About Europa 2021 - Stamps:

More about EUROPA Postage Stamps:

EUROPA Postage stamps (also known as Europa - CEPT - European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations - until 1992) are special stamps issued by European Postal Administrations/Enterprises and bears the official EUROPA logo, a PostEurop registered trademark under the aegis of PostEurop in which Europe is the central theme.

EUROPA stamps underline cooperation in the posts domain, aimed at promotion of philately. They also build awareness of the common roots, culture and history of Europe and its common goals.

As such, EUROPA stamp issues are among the most collected and most popular stamps in the world.

Since the first issue in 1956, EUROPA stamps have been a tangible symbol of Europe's desire for closer integration and co-operation.

In 1993, PostEurop became responsible for issuing EUROPA stamps.

When CEPT decided to focus more on telecommunications in 1993, PostEurop took over the management of the Europa issues. The CEPT logo was replaced by a new logo created by PostEurop i.e. the word "EUROPA" leaning towards the right hand side.

Each year, PostEurop's "Stamps & Philately Group" selects the EUROPA stamp theme:

About Europa 2021 - "Endangered National Wildlife Stamps issued by "Posta Crna Gora"  (Montenegro Post):

 PostEurop stamp theme is ‘Endangered National Wildlife’, and  Posta Crna Gora has depicted  the Tivat Saline which have been identified under this category.

These beautiful stamps feature species that are locally registered from "Critically Endangered" through to "Near Threatened".

The EUROPA Stamp issued by Posta Crna Gora (Montenegro Post) features the "Tivat Saline":


The Europa postage stamp of 0.95 Euro, depicts the Tivat Saline. 

Tivat Saline:

The area of the Saline is located in the swampy part of the coastal zone of the Bay of Tivat and covers the uninhabited floodplain in the Grbalj region.In the flora and vegetation of the Montenegrin coast, the area of the Saline is recognizable by the vegetation that inhabits salt marshes. As such complex types of natural vegetation on silty-clay substrates have already disappeared in most habitats on the eastern Adriatic coast, preserving the integrity of the Tivat Saline as a safe habitat for halophytic vegetation stands out as a particular environmental challenge. 14 representatives of amphibians and reptiles have been registered in the area of Tivat Saline.

So far, 111 bird species have been registered in the Saline, which represents over 20% of the total number of species of European ornithofauna. The Saline is the habitat of many endangered species, which is why they are protected as a special floristic and faunal reserve

The First Day Cover (FDC) shows a representation of the Tivat Saline against a background of a mountainous landscape. The FDC is titled "Tivatska solila" or "Tivat Saline". At right is the logo of Posta Crna Gora.

The EUROPA stamp of 0.95 Euro is affixed at top right. The special Cancellation Handstamp is of Podgorica Post Office and the Cancellation is dated - "09.05.2021".
