PVJ, which is an abbrevation for Paravojne jedinice (Eng. Paramilitary units), is a military formation in Serbia.

Along with Vojska eSrbije (Eng. Army of eSerbia, abbreviation VeS), they are being paid by the government of Serbia to deal damage where needed. They are under the direct control of Minister of Defense (MoD) of Serbia, meaning they set the daily order and strike where Serbian MoD tells them to.

They are part of refund system of Serbia, meaning they get paid for strikes. If MoD doesn't organise a strike, most units have their own strikes, called training.
