India-Serbia relations are warm and friendly drawing their strength from the shared values of Non-Alignment as the pillar of the Foreign Policy and the personal friendship of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Marshall Tito the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement. India shares a strong bond of friendship with Serbia on several levels other than Politics such as ITEC Cooperation, Commercial Relations, Cultural Relations and many more.

The Serbian stamps come with the denomination of 70 Serbian dinars. Along with the portrait the stamps depict the birth and death years of both the thinkers along with the inscription “70th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations with India” in Serbian.

On the other hand, the Indian stamps are pretty simple. Along with the portraits the stamps bear the names of the personalities both in English and Hindi. The stamps come with the denomination of Rs. 5 for the stamp depicting Nikola Tesla and Rs. 25 for the stamp with the portrait of Swami Vivekananda.
