President Stevo Pendarovski received the Head of the Macedonian Orthodox Church – Ohrid Archbishopric, Metropolitan of Skopje, Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia and Justiniana Prima, H.H. Stefan.
Current issues related to the resolution of the status of the Macedonian Orthodox Church – Ohrid Archbishopric and the overcoming of the church dispute were discussed at the meeting. President Pendarovski once again congratulated the Ecumenical Patriarchate on the recognition of the canonicity of our church, which enables creation of spiritual unity with the Orthodox world and assessed the act as a recognition of its historical continuity with the ancient Ohrid Archbishopric.
The Head of the Macedonian Orthodox Church – Ohrid Archbishopric, Metropolitan of Skopje, Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia and Justiniana Prima, H.H. Stefan informed President Pendarovski about the next steps in the process of full completion of the autocephaly of the Macedonian Orthodox Church – Ohrid Archbishopric, for which both interlocutors agreed that it is among the highest national interests.
