The Balkan Fritillary can be found in the mountains on flower-rich grasslands, or on grassland with scattered bushes, and in clearings in woods. These butterflies usually fly close to the ground. Various violets (Viola spp.) are used as foodplant. The female lays her eggs either on the foodplant, or on a plant nearby. The Balkan Fritillary has one generation a year and hibernates as a small caterpillar.
