Later he became a bishop of Grgo Ilijić (1798–1813), and in the same year he became also the Apostolic administration of the Apostolic Vicariate in Bosnia. After the bishop Grgo Ilijić's death he was appointed bishop of the same Vicariate (1813–1831). Fra Augustin Miletić died in Livno 1831, during one of his many pastoral visits.
