After three days of desperate resistance, the Turkish army asked for mercy, and Janko Vukotić's army was given a ceremony and a magnificent welcome in front of the Patriarchate of Peć. Immediately after, the contract on the surrender of the city was signed, a new administration was elected and the army moved towards Visoki Dečani. At the end of October, the Turkish forces in Metohija hurriedly retreated through Prizren and Debra towards Ohrid and Bitola.

In Đakovica, there was only one battalion of regular troops of about 500 soldiers with one mountain battery. The Serbian and Montenegrin governments did not resolve the demarcation issue in the liberated territory with their alliance agreement. Each of them was supposed to keep what they took during the operation.

The commander of the Montenegrin Eastern Detachment informed King Nikola that he must stay in Peja for a few more days, while he restores order, disarms the Muslim population and arms the Serbian population, because he considered that "... the Nahija of Peć, the Patriarchate and the Dečani are the head of Old Serbia, and that in our hands". The Eastern Detachment established its first contact with the Serbian army on the day it entered Peć. On that day, namely, the commander of the detachment received a letter from Lieutenant Alekse Žujović, who, as the commander of a cavalry reconnaissance of the Ibarian Army, arrived at the Deviča monastery in Drenica. Lieutenant Žujović reported on the already achieved successes and further intentions of the Serbian army and asked for similar information about the Montenegrin army. On the same day, the commander of the Eastern detachment sent a telegram to the commander of the Ibarian army in Mitrovica that he and the army had entered Peć. Three days later, a Serbian scout of eight horsemen arrived in Pec. That first meeting between Serbian and Montenegrin soldiers was very cordial and moving. "They hug, sing and spend time with our soldiers" - reported the commander of the King Nikola detachment in the evening.

The assistant chief of staff of the Ibarian army, Major Milutin Lazarević and lieutenant Žujović with 25 horsemen arrived in Pec the following day, and the commander of the Ibarian army, general Mihailo Živković, arrived at night. General Živković and Brigadier Vukotić agreed to jointly move with their forces towards Djakovica, which they did on November 5. The Jezero-Saran Battalion (which was sent to Peć after the liberation of Pljevlja) and one battalion of the Kolašin Brigade were left in Peja as a crew. However, when the commanders of the Eastern Detachment and the Ibar Army arrived in Decani, they were informed that the Vasojević and Kolašin brigades and the Drina Division had liberated Đakovica. Vasojević's brigade immediately after breaking out in Dečane was ordered to send stronger scouting units towards Đakovica. The brigade commander informed the detachment commander in two waves that Bajram Curi was gathering stronger forces in Đakovica "for defense and possible attack", so he asked to hurry up the movement of the main body towards Decani. Accordingly, three battalions of the Kolasin Brigade were sent to reinforce the Vasojević Brigade. But the commander of the detachment still considered that it was a small force for the liberation of Gjakova, and he ordered that they only "... send scouts ... to Gjakova on the mountains to Junik".

The Vasojević brigade and parts of the Kolasin brigade, however, did not encounter any resistance. Therefore, the commander of the Vasojević Brigade decided to continue the movement towards Đakovica. When his predecessor broke out in the vicinity of Đakovica, heavy rifle fire was opened from the northern edge of the town. On the hills east of Đakovica, parts of the Drina Division were also engaged in combat with the enemy. The liberation of Đakovica and the meeting with the Serbian troops ended the liberation of Metohija.

This ended the fighting in this direction and the Eastern Detachment completed its operational role as an independent detachment of the Montenegrin Army.
