Trieste Zone B

In May 1945, Yugoslavian partisans captured the region known as Venezia Giulia in and around Trieste, Fiume and Pola. Allied forces arrived shortly afterwards in Trieste. It was then agreed that the regions around Trieste would be divided, creating Trieste Zones A and B.
 * Stamps for Zone B were first issued in May 1948.
 * In 1949, Yugoslavian stamps were overprinted V.U.J.A. - S.T.T. for Zone B.
 * By 1950, stamps were either inscribed STT VUJA or overprinted in Yugoslavian stamps. Some of the overprints are quite small. This included airmails, postal tax stamps, postage dues and postal tax due stamps.
 * The two zones existed until November 1954 after which most of Zone B became part of Yugoslavia, using Yugoslavian stamps.
