The Battle of Lopate () took place in 1796 between Montenegro and the Ottoman Empire near Lopate. Using Mahmut-pasha Bushatli's attack on Montenegro (see Battle of Krusi), Ottoman forces from Nikà ¡iÃÂ, Kolaà ¡in, Bihor, Bijelo Polje, Gusinje; likewise from FoÃÂa, Gacko, Stolac, Blagaj, Nevesinje, Trebinje and KorjeniÃÂi; began advancing to the Montenegrin border. In early October 1796, when the Battle of Krusi occurred, a unit was organized, consisting of the soldiers from the mentioned towns. This unit attacked the mountains of MoraÃÂa (Mount Lopatice, near Lopate) against the tribespeople of Trebjesa, MoraÃÂa and Rovci. The unit suffered noticeable casualties. According to available sources, both sides lost about forty people.
