Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I mau ia ki Budapest i te wā i kī a Austria-Hungary i te pakanga ki tōna whenua, ka whakaaetia a Field Marshal Putnik kia hoki haumaru ki Serbia i roto i tētahi tohu rangatira, ā, tērā pea ka hinga i a ia anō, nā te emepara o Austria-Hungary a Franz Josef. Whai muri i te haerenga raruraru, ka hoki a Putnik ki Serbia ka tuku i tana wehenga ki a Kingi Peter I o Serbia mo nga take o te koroheke me te hauora kino. I whakakahoretia, i tohe te kingi kia riro i a Field Marshal Putnik te whakahau mo te ope taua, ahakoa i roto i te tikanga rautaki, i te wa e riro ana i nga rangatira taiohi, penei i a Stepa Stepanović, Živojin Mišić me Petar Bojović nga mahi whakahaere. I noho a Putnik i te nuinga o te wā i roto i tētahi ruma e pai ana te whakamahana. Heoi, kāore i ārai i a ia tana mate hauora ki te whakahaere angitu i te pakanga.

), ka peia atu i Serbia i te Hakihea 1914.
