Buoyed by success at Cer and Sabac, Serbian Marshal Radomir Putnik advanced into Syrmia, then had to withdraw in the face of a second Austrian invasion across the Drina by General Oskar Potiorek. Austrian General Artur Geisl secured Parasnica before a massive Serbian counter-offensive halted the invasion. Putnik later fell back to defend Belgrade at Kolubara.
