Croatian Post (HP) Mostar has issued two commemorative stamp issues with flora and fauna motifs. “Flora 2023” consists of two stamps with motifs of the Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum), that is protected throughout Europe and is a symbol of mountain regions and the Alpine Bartsia (Bartsia alpina) which is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the broomrape family. The stamp’s design author is Vilim Parić.
Ernesto Markota has designed the stamp issue “Fauna 2023.”, which show four types of bats that habitat in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bats are a crucial part of the ecosystem. Based on the number of recorded species, Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the richest countries in Europe when it comes to these mammals.
The Blasius Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus blasii) is the rarest horseshoe bat in Europe. In this part of the Dinarides, its only known mainland colony is located near Mostar, in the Prosječenica Cave on Podveležje. The Lesser Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus hipposideros) is the smallest bat species in Europe and is highly endangered. It is recognizable by the shape of its nose, which resembles a horseshoe. The Common noctule (Nyctalus noctula) is a large bat with broad, rounded ears that migrates from Central Europe to the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean long-eared bat (Plecotus kolombatovici) is associated with the Adriatic region. It has remarkably large ears that it uses for orientation and prey detection.
