Marka la qabto Budapest markii Austro-Hungary ay ku dhawaaqday dagaalkii waddankiisa, Field Marshal Putnik waxaa loo oggolaaday in uu si nabad ah ugu laabto Serbia si geesinimo leh oo laga yaabo in uu iskiis u burburiyo amiirka Austro-Hungarian Franz Josef. Safar dhib badan ka dib, Putnik wuxuu ku laabtay Serbia wuxuuna is casishay Boqorkii Serbia Peter I sababo la xiriira da'diisa iyo caafimaad darrada. Waxaa la diiday, boqorka wuxuu ku adkeystay in Field Marshal Putnik uu qaato amarka ciidanka, haddii kaliya ay tahay dareen istiraatiiji ah, halka jeneraalada da'da yar, sida Stepa Stepanović, Živojin Mišić iyo Petar Bojović ay la wareegi doonaan waajibaadka hawlgalka. Putnik wuxuu ku qaatay waqtigiisa intiisa badan qol aad u kulul. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, caafimaadkiisa xumo kama hor istaagin inuu si guul leh u abaabulo ololaha. Serbia waxay ka adkaatay weeraradii ciidanka Austro-Hungarian bishii Agoosto iyo Sebtember 1914 (dagaalkii Cer iyo Kolubara
), oo Serbia ka saaray bishii Diseembar 1914.
