Postal stamps dedicated to the Belarusian and East Slavic first printer has an old tradition. It is symbolical that the presentation of this new postal project will take place in the National Library of Belarus which is the only in Belarus keeper of Francysk Skaryna’s books.
Belarusian postal stamps have a distinct national orientation reflecting the basic aspects of the development of our state. These artistic miniatures represent the crucial events in the history and culture of Belarus.
