The Montenegrin-Herzegovinian forces heavily defeated the Ottomans, and managed to capture two of their commanders. In addition, they captured a large consignment of armament. == Background == As the [[Herzegovina Uprising (1875–78)|Uprising in Herzegovina]] continued, Germany, Russia and Austria-Hungary proposed a two-month truce at the meeting held in mid-May. At the same time negotiations between the Serbian and Montenegrin governments result to the two declaring war on the Ottoman Empire on 30 June 1876. == Battle == The battle took place in [[Vučji Do]], near [[Bileća]] in [[Herzegovina]] (modern [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]]), then part of the [[Bosnia Vilayet]] of the [[Ottoman Empire]]. Selim Pasha was killed by Đoko Popović, from [[Cuce (tribe)|Cuce]], while Osman Pasha was captured by Luka Dragišić, from [[Piperi (tribe)|Piperi]] clan.<ref>{{cite book|author=Nikola I|title=Govori|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aIYNAQAAIAAJ|year=1969|publisher=Obod|page=272}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Crnogorci u anegdotama i pričama|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3w4dAAAAMAAJ|year=1986|publisher=Pobjeda|page=295}}</ref> ==Gallery== <gallery> Vucji Do flag.jpg|Montenegrin flag used in the battle, damaged by [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] soldiers' bullets. </gallery> == References == {{reflist}} ==Sources== *Gavro Vukotić, [http://vbsw.vbs.rs/scripts/cobiss?ukaz=GETID&lani=sr ''Rat 1876 Crne Gore sa Turskom''], Cetinje 1929.
