2019100th Ann of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Zagreb (C) - First Day Cover

It is with great pride and pleasure that we present this postage stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Zagreb. On 13 November 1919, classes were held for the first time at the College of Veterinary Medicine, which was subsequently renamed the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine five years later. Ever since, during the first century of its existence, this has been the only institution of higher education in Croatia that has continuously educated doctors of veterinary medicine, thus shaping the history of the veterinary profession and practice in the region as well as building its reputation in the European educational space.
