Among them 19 species are reported for the first time in Serbia. Three species are included in the Red Data Book of European Bryophytes (ECCB 1995); one species in the rare (R) category: Lophozia ascendens, and two (Drepanocladus lycopodioides, Pseudoleskea saviana) are regionally threatened (RT). Key words: bryophyte flora, Kopaonik Mts, red-listed species, Serbia INTRODUCTION Comprehensive treatments of the bryophyte flora of former Yugoslavia were published by MARTINCIC (1968) and PAVLETIC (1955, 1968). According to these works, some regions have been studied more intensely than others, depending on the residence of bryologists (MARTINCIC in Ljubljana, PAVLETIC in Zagreb) or attractivity of the areas to foreign visitors. Slovenia is the best-known part of the former federal state. Some parts of Croatia are also well explored, but the northern part of this country is only very poorly known. Bosnia-Herzegovina was visited by many foreign collectors in the beginning of the 20th century, but it was neglected later on. The most understudied regions are Serbia, Montenegro and the former Yugoslavian Republic (FYR) Macedonia. From the latter very few data exist (SABOVLJEVIC et al. 2001). In recent years, collecting trips were organised by the Hungarian Natural Museum and the Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia, to explore the cryptogam flora of some national parks and protected areas of Serbia-Montenegro. The bryological results of two former field trips have already been published (PAPP and SABOVLJEVIC 2001, 2002). As a result of this field research, 51 bryophyte species were added to the checklists of Serbia (SABOVLJEVIC and STEVANOVIC 1999, SABOVLJEVIC 2000).
