From Albania

Albania... I don't receive many covers from this country but from the stamps on the cover bellow you can see that they issue some interesting stamps, wouldn't you say?

The 1st stamp commemorates the 60 Years End of World War II. It was issued in 2006 and belongs to a 2v set.

The other 2 stamps were both issued in 1996. One depicts the Olympic games Atlanta (3v set) and the last one is about UNICEF (4v set).

How often do you receive covers from Albania?

Do you collect their stamps?
