Skopje, 18 November 2023 (MIA) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Post of North Macedonia at an event Saturday promoted a commemorative postage stamp with the slogan “It’s About People” marking North Macedonia’s OSCE Chairpersonship and the upcoming OSCE Ministerial Council in Skopje.

The stamp was designed by Aleksandar Josifovski and two thousand copies have been printed with a nominal value of Mden 100.

It was promoted by Foreign Minister and OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Bujar Osmani, and the head of Post of North Macedonia, Bujare Abazi, at an event in the Boris Trajkovski Sports Center, where the OSCE Ministerial Council will be held on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.

President Stevo Pendarovski and the foreign ambassadors to North Macedonia were the first to receive the commemorative stamp.

“In order to ensure the memory of our OSCE Chairpersonship is eternal, we issued a commemorative postage stamp. This postage stamp will be a rare sample in the philatelic collections throughout the world and will stand as a witness to a time of significant progress made by the country on an international level,” said Osmani at the promotion.

He stressed that “It’s About People” has been the motto and motive of the Chairpersonship in the past year.

“Our Chairpersonship was focused on people because in a turbulent world, the needs and demands of the citizens always come first. This message is also printed on the commemorative postage stamp because it should always remind political leaders and international organizations of the purpose of their work,” added Osmani.

The head of Post of North Macedonia, Bujare Abazi, said that besides representing the country, the postage stamp also sends a strong message.

“The extended hand, humanity, and protection of people know no borders and should be at the focus of our work,” said Abazi.
