Abstract
The paper presents the lithostratigraphic, neotectonic and seismotectonic characteristics of the Pelagonian, Poreč and Kičevo depressions and the surrounding horsts. The area under consideration belongs to two geotectonic regions - the Pelagonian massif and the Western Macedonian zone which have had a complex multiphase geotectonic evolution. During the Neotectonic stage, owing to the intense tectonic development, morphostructures of uplift (blockhorsts) and subsidence (depressions-grabens) were formed along reactivated older and newly-developed neotectonic fault structures. The neotectonic fault structures are of various degree of seismic activity. The analysis of data from earthquakes makes possible to distinguish two seismic zones – Kičevo and Bitola, – in which earthquakes with a magnitude of up to 5.5 could be anticipated.
