Summary/Abstract: Despot Stefan Lazarević received the castle and town of Munkács in Bereg County in northeastern Hungary (today Mukachevo in western Ukraine) from the Hungarian King Sigismund of Luxemburg, probably in 1422 or 1423. King Sigismund granted the inhabitants of Munkács the right to hold the annual fair, which began on the feast of Saint Cosmas and Damian on 27September and lasted fifteen days. Despot Stefan confirmed this privilege byhis charter, which is not preserved. Two and a half months before his death,on 6 May 1427, the Serbian ruler issued a document in Latin in his court inNekudim in the Jasenica valley (near today's Smederevska Palanka), invitingall state dignitaries and local government representatives in Hungary to enable the free admission of the people and traders to the mentioned fair. Thepaper presents a critical edition of this last known document issued by Despot Stefan, with photographs, description, translation into Serbian and diplomatic analysis
