Changed wording, but as neither the Senegal or Mali COVID-19 issues from later in 2020 have appeared on Stamperija's website, I am not sure we can say that Mali or Senegal are now clients of Stamperija. Or perhaps to say, it would be odd that Stamperija would produce items for Mali and Senegal and then NOT show them on their website for sale I think.

There was also an issue for Mali in late 2020 for the African Philatelic Hub.

As always with modern African stamps, it's not always clear what is going on.

I meant editing the name... "Delcampe"?!

I don't think Mali and Senegal are Stamperija clients too. Although the Year of the Ox stamp is starting to look like it...

As far as I know Stamperija can also be contracted for printing work only.
