ADMINISTRATIVE-TERRITORIAL ORGANIZATION OF THE ROMANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH

          The Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church decided to revive or found seven new bishoprics within the Romanian Patriarchate.

          In the Metropolitan Seat of Bessarabia they decided to revive the Bishopric of Bălţi - formerly of Hotin -, located in the town of Bălţi; the Bishopric of Southern Bessarabia - formerly Cetatea Albă - Ismail -, located in the town of Cantemir; the Orthodox Bishopric of Dubăsari and of the entire Transnistria – formerly the Romanian Orthodox Mission to Transnistria -, located in Dubăsari (a town of about 36000 inhabitants). These bishoprics had been active in the Metropolitan Seat of Bassarabia before 1944 and now they took the decision to revive them starting from the local reality, as the Romanian Orthodox believers asked for that.
          At the same time, within the Romanian Orthodox Seat of Western and Southern Europe they founded the Romanian Orthodox Bishopric of Spain and Portugal, and within the Romanian Orthodox Metropolitan Seat of Central and Northern Europe they founded the Romanian Orthodox Bishopric of Northern Europe, located in Stockholm. Also the Romanian Orthodox Bishopric of Australia and New Zealand was founded, located in Melbourne, with direct canonical dependence on the Romania Patriarchate. The ever larger number of Romanian Orthodox believers living in these territories brought about these decisions.
          At the same time, the Holy Synod decided to found the Bishopric of Zalău, Silvania and Sălaj, located in the city of Zalău, within the Metropolitan Seat of Cluj, Alba, Crişana and Maramureş.
