Administrator of Duvno

After the death of its administrator Nikola Ugrinović, the titular bishop of Smederevo, in 1604, the Diocese of Duvno was officially administered by the bishops of Bosnia who received a general jurisdiction over Catholics in the Ottoman Bosnia and Herzegovina. The office of the bishop of Duvno was only nominal at the time. Since the bishops of Bosnia were overextended due to a large number of Catholics, they delegated the administration over the Diocese of Duvno, at first to vicar general Mijo Runović, and then to Kačić after he became the bishop of Makarska in 1615.Шаблон:Sfn

Kačić's administrative jurisdiction over Duvno extended to Central Bosnia. He visited the diocese at least two times.
