Twenty terrestrial gastropod species are reported from the Belchishko Blato wetland, which is proposed to be declared as a nature park in the Republic of North Macedonia. Vertigo moulinsiana (Dupuy, 1849) (Desmoulin’s whorl snail), which is a species listed in the European Habitats Directive, is recorded for the first time in this country. Columella edentula (Draparnaud, 1805) is registered in its second locality for the country. Four freshwater gastropod species were found for the first time for this wetland area.
