This paper presents a syntaxonomic analysis of wet meadows within the Trifolion resupinati Micevski 1954 alliance (Class Molinio-Arrenatheretea) in the subarid continental regions of the Southern Balkans. The analysis includes eight original relevés from the Glajsho locality on Galichica Mountain (North Macedonia) and 422 literature and unpublished relevés from North Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo, and Greece, totaling 430 relevés. Hierarchical cluster analysis revealed that these meadows belong to the newly described subassociation Cynosuro-Caricetum hirtae galietosum macedoniceae subass. nova. This subassociation, elaborated in detail in the paper, represents a gradual transition from meadows to pastures.
