The objective of this study was determination of chemical elements in Bornmuellera dieckii (Fam. Brassicaceae), as an endemic plant species, which is located only in Kosovo (so far it has been found only in some localities in the Sharri Mountains). In the same location and in the same time, for comparasion we collected another Balkan endemic plant Stachys scardica (Fam. Lamiaceae). Also, we collected the soil samples in which they have grown. The plants were separated in three parts: roots, stems and leaves, they prepared in a standard procedure of cleaning, drying and digested in the microwave digestion system. The plants samples and soil samples were analysed by Flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS). The level of nickel content (in mg/kg) for roots, stems and leaves in plant Bornmuellera dieckii were: 4102, 9713 and 24295, but in plant Stachys scardica, these values were 95.4, 23.8 and 62.9. The Bioconcentration factor (BCF) of nickel for Bornmuellera dieckii was ranged: from 2 to 12, and the Translocation factor (TF) was 2.4 for root to stem, and 5.9 for root to leaf.
