Vestia roschitzi is a species of air-breathing land snail within the family Clausiliidae,[1] This species is endemic to the Balkan Region with a distribution covering eastern Bulgaria, southern Serbia, northern Albania, Montenegro, and eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Its habitat is within mountains and foothills, living in wet deciduous forests, bushes, and rocks amongst vegetation at elevations of 500 to 2500 meters high.

[2] The current subpopulations on Vestia roschitzi are assumed to be stable, and no major threats are known to effect the species, although because of its morphological forms having a localized distribution range between populations it can be easily effected by disturbances within its environment.

It has been classified as 'Least concern' by the IUCN Red List, as its large distribution covers several protected areas.
