In the winter of 1915, the Army of Montenegro had been fighting Austro-Hungary for three months in Serbia. In January 1916 they had to resist the invasion of their own territory.
The 62nd and 53rd Infantry Division entered Montenegro on 5 January 1916 from the north-east and advanced along the river towards Pljevlja and Bijelo Polje, where they were stopped by the Montenegrins in the Battle of Mojkovacc.
The Austro-Hungarian forces left the battlefield, leaving more than 2,000 of their soldiers dead. By the end of the day, Montenegrin forces were able to push back multiple attacks made by Austro-Hungarian forces, taking back control of Mojkovacc and its surroundings.
The Battle of Mojkovacc was a World War I battle fought between 6 January and 7 January 1916 near Mojkovacc, Montenegro, between the armies of Austria-Hungary and Montenegro. It ended with a Montenegrin victory.
