Relations Bulgaria – RS Macedonia 501
–“The disgrace goes so far that the BOC says that they recognize the church in Northern Macedonia, and they will think about its name in the next period. Who are you to think about?” Pendarovski asked in an interview with TV “24” in connection with the decision of the Synod. of the BOC to “lift the schism and enter into canonical and Eucharistic communion with the Orthodox Church of Northern Macedonia.”
On June 8, the Greek Orthodox Church also raised the schism over the Orthodox Church in Northern Macedonia, calling it the Ohrid Archbishopric, while the Synod of the Archbishopric of Athens expressed serious concern about the use of the name “Macedonian Orthodox Church” in the letter. this enters the internal affairs of the Greek Church, which also has an area under its jurisdiction called “Macedonia”.
