We are pleasantly surprised to receive a box of Tolerance Poster Postcards in the mail. They are published by NGO FLUX in Cetinje, Montenegro. Only 10 sets of them were printed. The postcards are made to commemorate  The International Day for Tolerance  and the Tolerance Poster Show, which was part of the  FLUID design forum  at  Modernoj Galeriji  ( Muzeji i galerije Podgorice ) in Podgorica, Montenegro in November 2021. This edition includes 183 postcards. That is how many posters we had in our collection then.
