The easternmost coherent tract of the pre-Mesozoic basement of the Carpatho-Balkanide belt is exposed in Tvarditsa Stara Planina Mountain. Two metamorphic units – the Lazovo and Shivachevo complexes as well as the Tvarditsa pluton were distinguished, as their ages are still not well constrained. Here, we present U-Pb (ID-TIMS) data for the Shivachevo complex and the Tvarditsa pluton, putting this information in the regional context of the late Variscan geodynamic evolution of the region.
