==Relations with other Orthodox Churches==
Some mainstream Orthodox jurisdictions have isolated MOC and completely cut off all relations with it. Some mainstream Orthodox metropolitans this century, especially in the region of the New Territories, have incited rioting against MOC, and have earlier successfully demanded the sealing of the borders and other economic sanctions against the FY Republic of Macedonia.
The Serbian Orthodox Church, the mother Church of MOC, has declared all MOC bishops schismatic and invalid, and has set up a parallel hierarchy within the FY Republic of Macedonia. The world's strongest Orthodox Church, the Church of Russia, laments this unfortunate escalation of tensions.
