60 postage-philatelic products have been issued since 2010. 12 of them have been put into circulation in the first four months of this year. The Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications has started collecting proposals for issue of postage stamps and postage products in 2012. Proposals are accepted until June 30, 2011.

In 2009 the plan of the subjects included 55 postage stamps, in 2010 – 48, in 2011 – 43 postage stamps, 5 illustrated cards and 18 special envelopes.
