Salt habitats are extreme and unique environments found from Austria through Hungary to the Vojvodina Province in Serbia. In our study, we investigated eight saline habitats (channeled salt marshes, moist salt meadows and saline ponds), from which we collected plankton, epipelic and epiphytic diatoms. Seventeen diatom taxa new for the Serbian diatom flora were recorded. In addition, the genus Haslea, with one species (H. spicula), was recorded for the first time in Serbia. The identified taxa were sporadic or rare in the samples.
