 After the scuttling of the monitors , around 450 officers and men from the Morava and various other riverine vessels gathered at Obrenovac , and armed only with personal weapons and some machine guns stripped from the scuttled vessels , started towards the Bay of Kotor in the southern Adriatic in two groups . The smaller of the two groups reached its objective . The larger group only made it as far as Sarajevo on 14 April before they surrendered . The remainder made their way to the Bay of Kotor , which was captured by the Italian XVII Corps on 17 April .
