At the time of the battle, World War II in Europe had already officially ended and Partisan units had reorganized into the Yugoslav Army.

The Partisans were ultimately victorious, inflicting heavy losses to the Chetniks, who were de facto destroyed as a movement.

After his split with forces loyal to Pavle Đurišić, Dragoljub Mihailović's remaining Chetniks from Serbia and Bosnia relocated to the vicinity of Modriča in late March 1945.

[1] Mihailović was so taken by this facade that he unwillingly revealed to OZNA his plans to send groups of saboteurs and commandos over the Drina River.

The battle was a decisive defeat for the Chetniks, after which they became groups of scattered men, chased by the Yugoslav Army, KNOJ and OZNA.

Mihailović was able to evade capture and traps set up by Yugoslav security forces, until he was caught ten months later by agents of OZNA, who disguised themselves as Chetniks and were led by his once most trusted ally, Nikola Kalabić.
