Description
Established back in 1840, the Post of Serbia was one of the first corporate institutions in Serbia in the nineteenth century, a pioneer of the modernization and industrialization of Serbia, but also a strong factor in the political independence of the emerging state.
The traffic connection of cities, the opening of post offices, the modernization of postal traffic by introducing postage stamps, legal organization, and the education of postal personnel, made the Post one of the leaders of technological progress. Through numerous interstate activities and participation in the creation of the Universal Postal Union, the Post of Serbia became one of the first internationally recognized institutions of the young Serbian state.
Telegraph, telephone, automobile, railway, river and later air postal traffic, the opening of wireless stations and the broadcasting of the first radio program, brought Serbia into the ranks of technologically developed countries when it comes to postal traffic, significantly influencing the overall economic growth and development of the country in the first half of the 20th century.
New services, automation and modernization of postal traffic and intensive development of the postal information system in the second half of the 20th century, as well as the introduction of mobile telephony and the development of the geographic information system, have enabled the Post of Serbia to enter the 21st century as a company the strategic interest of which is sustainable development, economic and technological progress through the robotization of the postal industry and the implementation of green technologies.
Throughout its 185 years of existence, maintained and improved through the hard work and effort of numerous generations of employees, the Post of Serbia has always been a significant factor in the development of Serbia, providing, through its technological development, improvement of vocational education and through numerous socially engaged and humanitarian activities, the necessary social support for the overall prosperity of our society.
