Summary/Abstract: This paper is a contribution to the research into the life of His Beatitude Dositej (Dositheus), Primate of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, who served as vicar to Patriarch Vikentije (Vicentius) of Serbia from 1951 to 1958 with the title of Bishop of Toplica. That was a time when the resolution of the Macedonian church issue was stranded between the interests of the state and the Serbian Orthodox Church. Bishop Dositej was the candidate of the Initiative Board for the organization of the Orthodox Church in Macedonia for the office of archpriest in one of Macedonia’s eparchies until 1958 when, at the Second Clergy and Laity Assembly, the Ohrid Archbishopric was restored as Macedonian Orthodox Church and Dositej was enthroned as its first primate.
