Latvian public post company Latvijas Pasts, in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Latvian Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU), today will issue a special stamp dedicated to Latvia's presidency, as the presidency's spokeswoman Linda Jakobsone told LETA.
The author of the stamp is Girts Griva. The stamp features the official logo of Latvia's presidency, designed by Gunars Lusis. It is the first stamp issued by Latvijas Pasts this year.
In total, there will be 200,000 stamps issued with a EUR 0.64 face value, which corresponds to the standard rate for a postcard sent within the EU.
Issuing of a stamp dedicated to the presidency of the EU Council is a tradition of the presiding country's public postal service provider.
