On October 25, 2022, the Council of Bishops of the Polish Orthodox Church, presided by His Beatitude, Metropolitan Savva of Warsaw and All Poland, recognized the canonicity of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, reports the official website of the Polish Church orthodox.pl.
During the Council of Bishops of the Polish Church, "the information of the Serbian Patriarch on the independence of the Orthodox Church in Northern Macedonia was read out".
