Summary/Abstract: The border incident in Zeta began in the early morning hours of July 17, 1912, when the Turks, for no reason, wounded two Montenegrin subjects. This resulted in six-hour conflicts that killed nine and injured five Montenegrins. Turkish losses amounted to three dead and four wounded soldiers.Soon after the events in Zeta, a Montenegrin-Ottoman border conflict in Mojkovac occurred.After Turkish soldiers, by firing from the Pržište tower,had killed one and wounded several peasants, the Montenegrin army intervened.In the conflicts that took place on August 2 and 3, Montenegrins set fire to the tower in Prziste, but also some other towers in its vicinity. In these struggles, 33 Ottoman soldiers were killed. On the Montenegrin side, 15 soldiers were killed and 19 soldiers were wounded.
