This paper describes 15 species of fungi in the order Uredinales, causing the diseases known as "rusts". These fungi develop as obligate parasites and cause very dangerous diseases on cultivated plants. Among the "rusts" occurring on the trees, the following rusts are of special economic significance Melampsorella caryophyllacearum (rust on fir), Cronartium flaccidum (rust on two-needle pines) and Melampsora species (rusts on poplars). Fungi Chrysomyxa pirolata, Pucciniastrum epilobii, Gymnosporangium clavariiforme and G. tremelloides have been identified for the first time in Serbia
