Voivod (also spelled vajda, vojvod, vojvoda, wojwod, wojewoda, voivode, voivoda, Voievod, Russian: воевода, voyevoda) is a term of Slavic etymology denoting a military commander, literally, a warlord, (from "voi", plural "voie" - "warrior(s)", and "vodit'" - "to lead"). Later the term came to denote the governor of a province. A territory over which a voivod rules is called a voivodship (see Vojvodina).
Vojvoda Pavle ÄuriÅ¡ić and Vojvoda Vuk Kalajtović with their Chetnik units were there to bid us welcome together with a huge crowd of people young and old, clogging the only one and narrow street of Priboj.
Vojvoda Pavle ÄuriÅ¡ić immediately called all the commanders of both forces for an emergency briefing and it was decided to go, whatever the cost, after Tito’s H.Q. Vojvoda ÄuriÅ¡ić assumed command.
Vojvoda Pavle ÄuriÅ¡ić with his walking stick – his trademark and not a necessity – was flanked by 120 of his fighters (guards).
