Summary/Abstract: During the First World War and immediately after it, the dioceses of the Vardar part of Macedonia had changed their legal administrator several times. This phenomenon is probably caused by the rapidly changing political situation in the region. This means that the church structure and the management of a church area directly depends on the political situation in it and always the political element is stronger than the ecclesiastic one in the spiritual administration of a territory. So from 1920 (except years during the Second World War) to the present, the dioceses in Vardar Macedonia are under the jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC). Nowadays this fact raises lots of disputes and constant tensions between Serbia and Northern Macedonia.
