Yugoslavia – provisional issues

Yugoslavia was formed at the end of World War I as the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, with Serbia joining soon after. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia-Slavonia plus Slovenia released their own stamps before the 1921 constitution that established the Yugoslavian monarchy.
