AB  - Balkan Peninsula is one of the most important biodiversity centers in Europe. Despite that, the usage of plant species in the traditional medicine of some Balkan regions remained largely unexplored in the past. This study aimed to collect and document data on the traditional use of medicinal plants in Pčinja district in South-Eastern Serbia, which is among the least developed regions in Serbia. Also, comparison with data collected by Dr. Jovan Tucakov, in a book called Herbal therapy was conducted. The survey was carried out using semi-structured interviews and 113 informants were interviewed. Quantitative ethnobotany factors were calculated, allowing us discussing the results. The informants reported data on 86 medicinal plants belonging to 43 families in Pčinja district. Lamiaceae, Asteraceae, and Rosaceae were the dominant locally used families. The species with the highest number of use reports were Mentha piperita, Matricaria chamomilla, and Hypericum perforatum. Gastrointestinal ailments, respiratory problems and skin diseases were the most frequently reported indications. Usually, the administration was primarily oral followed by topical applications. Leaves were dominantly exploited plant parts and the most frequent preparation form was infusion. Medicinal plants in Pčinja district are mainly used as a mode of primary health care for treating minor health issues. After comparing our results with the ones collected half a century ago by Dr. Jovan Tucakov we can conclude that plant species mentioned in our investigation previously had a much wider spectrum of application.

AB  - Balkan Peninsula is one of the most important biodiversity centers in Europe. Despite 
that, the usage of plant species in traditional medicine of some Balkan regions remained 
largely unexplored in the past. This study aimed to collect and document data on the 
traditional use of medicinal plants in Pčinja district in South-Eastern Serbia, which is 
among the least developed regions in Serbia. The survey was carried out using semi structured interviews and 113 informants were interviewed. Quantitative ethnobotany 
factors were calculated, allowing us discussing the results.
The informants reported data on 86 medicinal plants belonging to 43 families. 
The most dominant botanical families were Lamiaceae (30% of species), Asteraceae 
(26% of species) and Rosaceae (19% of species). Species with the highest number of 
use reports were Mentha piperita, Hypericum perforatum, Matricaria chamomilla, Salvia
officinalis, Urtica dioica, Thymus serpyllum and Tilia cordata. The majority of the plants 
were reported to have 1-3 different usages and the species with most diverse uses were 
Hypericum perforatum and Urtica dioica. In Pčinja district folk medicine is primarily used 
for healing minor diseases with some exceptions. The most frequent medicinal uses 
were for treating diseases of the digestive system, respiratory system and diseases of 
the skin and subcutaneous tissue, followed by general and unspecified diseases (such 
as pain, fever and health prevention). Usually, the administration was primarily oral 
followed by topical applications. Leaves were dominantly exploited plant parts and 
the most frequent preparation form was infusion. The current study represents a useful 
documentation which can contribute to preserving ethnobotanical knowledge in 
South-Eastern Serbia. For some well-known plant species new applications have been 
recorded. This can present a good starting point for new investigations
