		The Battle of Kolubara started out right after the battle of Drina ended on November 16th 1914, when the Austro-Hungarian forces pushed back the Serbian troops to the right bank of the Kolubara river and Ljig.
		The Battle of Kolubara was one of the biggest and most important battles fought between the Serbian and Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. The battle was waged for 30 days on a 200 km long front, against twice as powerful and by far better equipped Austro-Hungarian army.
		Thus, the Serbian Army achieved its biggest victory in World War I. The battle of Kolubara entered the history of warfare as a unique example of an army on the verge of its ultimate defeat, which managed to reorganise in a short period and launch the counteroffensive that brought the enemy to their defeat.

		After the battle of the Drina in September 1914, the Serb army was forced by the advancing Austro-Hungarian army to retreat towards the river Kolubara and Ljig.
		In the Battle of the Kolubara more than 43,000 Austro-Hungarian soldiers and officers, as well as large quantities of war material, were captured.
		During August 1914 a great battle was waged in the area of Cer, in which around 200,000 men with a great number of artillery pieces of ordnance took part on the Austro-Hungarian side, and around 180,000 men on the Serb side.

	Independent, The (London): The storming of Belgrade: The fearless strikers who finally turned
		The Battle of Kolubara, in 1914- named after the river that runs through the region - was a famous Serbian victory, when much stronger Austrian forces were defeated in seemingly impossible circumstances.
		The Battle of Kolubara of 2000, between Mr Milosevic's powerful police and the crowds who came to support striking miners, looks likely to be equally historic; the difference is, it was settled without a shot being fired.
		The police moved in to seize the mine on Wednesday, after it was occupied by thousands of strikers since last week, demanding that the election victory of Vojislav Kostunica be recognised.
