The '''Counter-Terrorist Unit''' ({{lang-sr|Противтерористичка јединица / Protivteroristička jedinica}}, abbr. '''ПTJ''' / '''PTJ''') was a [[police tactical unit]] of the [[Police of the Republic of Serbia|Serbian Police]].<ref name="History">{{cite web |title=Istorijat - Protivteroristička jedinica|url=http://arhiva.mup.gov.rs/cms_lat/direkcija.nsf/ptj-istorijat.h|website=Archive - Ministry of Interior |accessdate=14 October 2019 |language=Serbian |date=2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) |url=https://specijalne-jedinice.com/Srbija/PTJ-English.html#sthash.yB654Pqc.dpbs |website=Specijalne-jedinice.com |accessdate=13 October 2019}}</ref> The PTJ was initially established within the [[Gendarmery (Serbia)|Gendarmery]] of the Police and in April 2007 was made an independent unit within the Police Directorate of the Police.<ref name="History" />

As its name states, the PTJ was oriented towards anti-terror operations as well as securing and maintaining the internal security of [[Serbia]]. Often only used in operations deemed too dangerous for other police units, it was highly trained and equipped. The PTJ's responsibilities included: resolving hostage situations, anti-terrorist operations, high-profile arrests and [[bomb disposal]]. Members of the PTJ operate with extreme professionalism and devotion to their responsibilities. This has earned the PTJ the great respect throughout the world as an elite special operations police unit among other such units. In 2016, the unit was disbanded and most of its members were incorporated into the [[Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (Serbia)|Special Anti-Terrorist Unit]] (SAJ).<ref name="Dnevnik">{{cite news |title=САЈ и ПТЈ се спајају у јединицу суперспецијалаца |url=https://www.dnevnik.rs/hronika/saj-i-ptj-se-spajaju-u-jedinicu-superspecijalaca |accessdate=13 October 2019 |work=Dnevnik |date=7 February 2016 |language=sr}}</ref>

==Equipment and training==
[[File:PTJ HMMWV.jpg|thumb|right|175px|PTJ Humvee]]

Candidates were selected from the [[Gendarmery (Serbia)|Žandarmerija]], who underwent rigorous physical evaluations before tactical training could begun. Lieutenant Colonel Dragović, the commander, stated in 2007 that out of 150 candidates only eight were selected in that year.<ref name="prošle proveru">[http://www.novosti.rs/code/navigate.php?Id=9&status=jedna&vest=98333&datum=2007-01-05 Crvene beretke prošle proveru], ''[[Večernje novosti]]'', 5 January 2007</ref> Members of the PTJ were expected to meet and excel the criteria set before them. Trainees were exposed to varying conditions that they might find in real life operations. PTJ training centres were located at Petrovo Selo near [[Kula (Serbia)|Kula]] and Goč near [[Vrnjačka Banja]].

==Publicly known operations==
In 13 operations across eight cities in [[Serbia]], the PTJ arrested numerous members of the so-called "Customs Mafia". They detained known organized crime leaders such as [[Sreten Jocić]] from the [[Netherlands]]; Dejan Milenković from [[Greece]]; Ridvan Rašitija from [[Switzerland]]; and extradited Abdelmajid Bouchar, (a member of "[[Al-Qaeda]]" suspected in connection with the [[2004 Madrid train bombings]]), to Spain.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/08/26/spain.extradition/index.html Spain seeks 3/11 suspect in Serbia], ''[[CNN]]'', 24 August 2005</ref>
