Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric, since 2005

The Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric (Православна Охридска Архиепископија) was formed in 2002 following a failure in negotiations between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Macedonian Orthodox Church. Whereas the Holy Synod of the Macedonian church rejected the so-called Niš agreement, one bishop broke ranks and agreed to form the autonomous church under the tutelage of the Patriarchate of Peć.

The Macedonian Orthodox Church has issues with the Serbian Orthodox Church after the separation and self-declaration of autocephaly in 1967. After the negotiations between the two churches were suspended, the Serbian church recognized a schismatic group leaded by Zoran Vraniškovski (so-called Archbishop Jovan of Ohrid), a former Macedonian church bishop, as the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric.
