The Battle of Ostrog was one of the major battles of the Ottoman-Montenegrin war. It ended with an Ottoman victory.[citation needed] After the Ottoman victory, Montenegro accepted a peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire.
The Montenegrin army consisted of thirty battalions of infantry with 848 men in each line, and a corps of cavalry consisting of 3,000-10,000 men. The size of the Ottoman Army is unknown. The Montenegrin artillery was set up in the mountains.[1]
The battle ended with an Ottoman victory as Montenegrin forces failed to hold in Ostrog.
