 In February 1944 , Nedić sent the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the SDK to Montenegro to supplement Đurišić 's forces . In the first half of 1944 , the Germans in Montenegro and the Sandžak organised offensives against the Partisans , largely relying on forces under the command of Lašić and Đurišić . Because of the weakness of their own forces , the Germans contributed by commanding and supplying the troops involved , and providing smaller mobile armoured units with heavy weapons . The Chetnik leaders provided most of the troops . In February and March , the Germans and numerous Chetnik units undertook a series of operations codenamed Bora , <unk> and <unk> around Podgorica .
