Republic of Macedonia[edit]
The Macedonian Orthodox church declared autocephaly on July 19, 1967, from the Serbian
church, a move which is not recognised by any of the churches of the Eastern Orthodox
Communion, and since then, the Macedonian Orthodox Church is not in communion with any
Orthodox Church.[15] Several Serbian monasteries are thus in control of the non-recognized MOC,
in reality part of the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric. The following are founded by Serbs or in the
control of the SOC:
