The paleontological site of Prebreza in southern Serbia is an important European mammalian site of Middle Miocene age. The presence of various species shows the migration routes of various taxa in intercontinental exchange that occurred between Europe, Asia and Africa. In this paper, a short revision of published taxa is given. The correlation to other Neogene sites, such as ?andir, In?n?, Pasalar (Turkey) and Belometchetskaya (North Caucasus) shows the position within MN6 Mammalian Neogene unit. The large collections from, and the capacity of the Prebreza site, will be the subject of further research of paleontologists and other scientists, interested in the evolution of fauna, paleogeography and the climate.Paleontoloski lokalitet Prebreza (juzna Srbija) predstavlja jedan od najznacajnijih srednje miocenskih evropskih nalazista fosilnih sisara. Prisustvo pojedinih vrsta, na ovom lokalitetu, ukazuje na migracione puteve razlicitih taksona u medjukontinentalnoj razmeni koja se odigrala izmedju Evrope, Azije i Afrike. U ovom radu data je kratka revizija do sada objavljenih podataka. Korelacija sa drugim lokalitetima, kao sto su Candar Inoni, Pasalar (Turska) i Belomecetskaja (severni Kavkaz), ukazuje na pripadnost jedinici MN6. Bogate kolekcije iz, kao i kapacitet samog lokaliteta Prebreze, predstavljace i u buducnosti predmet istrazivanja, kako paleontologa, tako i drugih strucnjaka zainteresovanih za evoluciju paleogeografiju i klimatske promene.
