Archimandrite Nikodim spent two years in Belgrade as [[rector]] of Belgrade Seminary, from 1886 to 1887. He returned to Zadar where he finally published his most important book, ''Church and Canon Law''. This book was his life work. Even today it is used in theological studies.

Fr. Nikodim Milaš was elected Bishop of Dalmatia on [[July 10]], 1890 and consecrated on [[September 16]]. During his tenure he was forced to struggle with aggressive Roman Catholic proselytism and with anti-orthodox authorities. He wrote once: "In Austria, there is a rule since 1868 that Orthodoxy has the same position as all other confessions in state. But the truth is that the Church (Orthodox) was just tolerated."
He moved to Dubrovnik. Kiev Orthodox Theological Academy awarded Bp. Nikodim an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity and also proclaimed him it's own honorary member. Bp. Nikodim died on [[April 2]] 1915. The only copy of his new book:''The Church and the State in Austro-Hungarian Empire'' has disappeared.
