Recognition

Granted by: Serbian Orthodox Church (2022)

Recognized by: Serbian Orthodox Church; Orthodox Church in America (2025)

The Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Church of Greece recognize the church but refer to it as the 'Archbishopric of Ohrid' and contest the name 'Macedonian'.

Communion was restored and autocephaly granted by the Serbian Orthodox Church in 2022; recognition of its autocephaly and of its name is still developing across the communion.
