We have determined abundances in the secondary stars of the black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 and the neutron star Binary Cen X-4. These are K type stars veiled by the emission produced by the respective accretion discs. We searched for evidence of nucleosynthetic products from the progenitor of the compact object that could have contaminated the secondary stars (as in Israelian et al., 1999).

Using high resolution spectra obtained with VLT/UVES, we have derived in a consistent way stellar parameters and the veiling caused by the accretion disc.
