Dear friends,
As you already know, in April 2026, the philatelic exhibition Histria Phila Alpe Adria 2026 will be held in Croatia, in Poreč-Parenzo. Thank you for nominating a commissioner to represent your country, but we also need to nominate judges. Each participating country has the right (and obligation) to nominate one judge, so I would like to ask you to submit name, photo and contact details of your chosen one (of course, if you so decide, the commissioner can also act as a judge). I would like to ask you to attach a photo (passport format) and the commissioner of the countries that have not already done so.
Attached is the official application form, and I would ask the commissioners to start their work; inform the exhibitors and collect the exhibits that will be presented in the competitive part of the exhibition. We have plenty of time for that, and we expect applications by the end of November. Participation of exhibitors coming from outside Croatia should be done exclusively through the national commissioner who should deliver the exhibits, but also return them to the exhibitors. For all other possible exceptions, please contact me.
As the exhibition is in about 6 months, our contacts will be more intensive and informative. Please do not hesitate to ask anything that interests you. We, as hosts, will in any case do our best to make your stay in Poreč, as well as that of your guests, exhibitors who wish to attend in person, enjoyable.
Best regards
Julije Maras
(president of Croatian Federation of Philatelists)
