AB  - The Balkan Peninsula is a vital part of Europe’s biodiversity in respect to freshwater gastropods and many of recorded taxa are stenobionts of narrow distribution. This chapter presents review of the freshwater gastropod fauna distribution in springs, small mountain streams (first order streams), and groundwaters of the Western Balkan and points to the main threats that influence the decline of diversity of this important group of aquatic organisms. Due to the complexity of the topic, small standing waters have not been considered here. The most significant threats to the diversity of freshwater gastropods in small streams are habitat degradation (physical destruction of habitats due to mini hydropower plants construction, hydro-technical works related to flood protection, faulty forest management excavation of material), and water abstraction. Knowledge of a considerable number of Balkan gastropod species, underlines the importance for the long-term conservation of biodiversity in this part of Europe.

AB  - The aim of this study was to provide ecological status/potential assessment of the water bodies in the Strumica River Watershed based on macroinvertebrates, as a step towards the implementation of the WFD in the Republic of North Macedonia. The material collected during June 2015 from 13 river water bodies, as well as from 2 heavily modified water bodies - reservoirs Turija and Vodocha was examined. The following indices were used for ecological status assessment: EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera) taxa richness, Biological Monitoring Working Party Score (BMWP) and Average Score Per Taxon (ASPT). Canonical Analyses (CA) confirmed that macroinvertebrate communities significantly differentiate between water bodies, indicating different ecological 
conditions. The biological assessment based on applied indices BMWP, ASPT and EPT taxa richness indicated a "healthy" river sector on the Koleshinska, Lomnica and Bezgashtevska Rivers and could be selected as indicators for reference conditions. Dominance of Chironomidae and Oligochaeta, as well as metrics values indicated high levels of ecosystem stress or  bad ecological status for the Radovishka River 4, Stara River 2 and Vodochnica River. The findings of this study contribute to the process of implementing macroinvertebrates as a mandatory component in  futuremonitoring studies in the Republic of North Macedonia.
