The monument to the victory of the Sandzak division in the Battle of Mojkovac is restored

The Battle of Mojkovac is one of the most significant battles in the territory of Montenegro during the First World War, and the terrible name "Bloody Christmas" was not accidental. A bloody battle took place on January 6, 1916 and lasted two days, all Christmas, but the Montenegrins (Sandzak Division) still managed to stop the Austro-Hungarian offensive, losing hundreds of killed and wounded.

Here, in Mojkovac on the river Tara, where the battle unfolded, in 1966 a monument was erected in honor of the battle, and one more - Army Commander Janko Vukotich. Since then, the monuments did not know the care and were in a sorry state, but on the 100th anniversary of the battle, 20 thousand euros were allocated, to which the restorers from the Polymsk Museum restored the former grandeur of the monument.
