AB  - Recent studies on the world reptiles' extinction risks pointed out that
   about 20 \% of species are threatened, with another 20 \% are
   data-deficient following IUCN criteria. IUCN set up criteria for
   assessment of extinction risk at global and regional scales, relying on
   distribution data, population parameters and quantitative analyses. Only
   12 \% of reptilian species were listed as globally threatened upon
   population data. Long-term population studies are time-consuming, thus
   it would be practical to use some other parameters for estimations of
   extinction risks. Threatening level (and extinction risks) of Serbian
   reptiles have never been investigated. We aimed to scrutinize species
   threatening level (thus set up conservation priorities) on the basis of
   distributional, ecological and life-history datasets (DELH). We
   estimated which traits are the most important for the conservation of
   species. Separately, we used IUCN criteria for regional level to assess
   extinction risk and compared them with the results obtained by analyses
   of DELH datasets. The two types of criteria gave similar estimates for
   the chelonian species. In snakes, two species exhibited higher
   conservation scores by DELH than by IUCN criteria, the opposite being
   true for two other species. In lizards, only two species had higher
   extinction risks by IUCN whereas five lizards were more threatened
   according to DELH. Our intention was not discredit the values of IUCN
   criteria for setting regional (or national) extinction risks, but to
   suggest that use of additional features other than IUCN could be
   valuable for estimation of threatening level and setting conservation
   priorities for cases where precise distribution and population data are
   not available.
