It is considered an early constitution, or close to it; an advanced set of laws which regulated all aspects of life.

- Dušan's Code

Today it is considered to be Serbia's first Serbian language church-state Constitution.

- Zakonopravilo

Dušan's Code was thus a supplement to Milutin's code, as well as a supplement to the various Church law codes that also had authority in Serbia; in particular the Nomocanon of Saint Sava (Zakonopravilo), enacted in 1219 with the establishment of the Serbian Orthodox Church and Serbian Kingdom.

- Dušan's Code

St. Sava's Nomocanon was the compilation of civil law, based on Roman Law, and canon law, based on Ecumenical Councils.

- Constitution

Stefan Dušan, emperor of Serbs and Greeks, enacted Dušan's Code (Душанов Законик/Dušanov Zakonik) in Serbia, in two state congresses: in 1349 in Skopje and in 1354 in Serres.

- Constitution

In Serbia, it was considered as the code of the divine law and it was implemented into Dušan's code (1349 and 1354).
