After returning to Montenegro, he founded printing works in Obod, then capital, and later with the shifting of the capital moved to Cetinje where, in 1494, he printed the first book in Montenegrin language, an Oktoih (it is probable that the first two or four parts were printed in Venice, but the last four were printed in Obod).
After the fall of Zeta/Montenegro to Turks in 1499, Makarije fled to Walachia. In 1511, Makarije started a printing works in Trgoviste, where he printed the first books in this principality (but not the first books in Romanian since these were printed in Church Slavonic).
He then moved to Hilandar monastery, where he became the abbot. There he helped founding of the Hilandar printing works.
