The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights rejected the complaint by the Government of R. Macedonia, thus making the verdict for the registration of the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric final

In November 2017, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg reached a verdict that the Government of R. Macedonia, by denying registration to the canonical Ohrid Archbishopric, violated Article 11 and Article 9, i.e. it violated the freedom of assembly and freedom thought, conscience and religion, which it was obliged to respect, according to the Convention for Human Rights, which R. Macedonia has signed.

In February 2018, the Government of R. Macedonia decided to file a complaint before the Grand Chamber of the aforementioned court, in regards to the reached verdict.

We are informing the public that the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, in April 2018, rejected the complaint of the Government of R. Macedonia, thus making the earlier reached verdict, regarding the registration of the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric, final!
