Relations
The Republic of North Macedonia became an independent country in 1991, when it declared itself independent from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia . The Holy See was among the countries which supported the country's independence and sovereignty from the very start. [4]
Full diplomatic relations between the Holy See and North Macedonia were established on 21 December 1994.

[7]
North Macedonia gets continuous support from the Holy See, especially when it gets to North Macedonia's aspirations to join the European Union . [4]
North Macedonia's leadership for almost fifty years annually visits the pope in the Vatican City . [7]
