The most decorated Bosnian swimmer and European champion, Lana Pudar, will now adorn the background of the BH Post (BH Pošta) postage stamp, with which this institution acknowledges the sports results that Pudar achieved in her career, thus far.

“We issued the postage stamp with the image of our European champion Lana Pudar under the auspices of the Mediterranean Postal Union, of which Bosnia and Herzegovina is a full member, and within this year's theme ‘Euromed Postal – Sports in the Mediterranean’. With this philatelic issue, we wanted to show our support for our best swimmer and give her recognition for the sports results she achieved,” BH Post announced.

The postage stamp was printed in a circulation of 10,000 copies, with a nominal value of 3.20 Bosnian marks (some €1.6). A special FDC envelope was also issued in a circulation of 150 pieces, worth 2.00 marks (around €1). The authors of the latest postage stamp are Tamer Lucarevic, Istvan Derencseny and European Aquatics.

Swimmer Lana Pudar was born on January 19, 2006, in Mostar, where she lives. She is Bosnia's record holder in all six fly disciplines and she is also the record holder of the Mediterranean Games in the 100-meter fly discipline for women.
