The aim of the present summary is the spatial extension of the structural elements of the Vardar System into the inner areas of the Carpathian Basin and the evidence of its Paleogene and Neogene rejuvenations by the method of the paleogeographic reconstruction. Due to the spatial and temporal extension of the system, the concept is introduced into literature with the name of Neo-Vardar. In the present paper, its movements during the Neogene orogenic cycles, its significance in the development of the sedimentary cycles and spatial changes of the facies as well as its effects on the formation of the volcanic cycles are presented, and its determinant role in the formation of the Pannonian Basin and its sub-basins 14.5 million years ago as well as its predictive significance in the exploration of Neogene coal, hydrocarbon and ore deposits are proved.
