Vucic signed the agreement on the return of compulsory military service

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vu?i?, announced that he has signed the agreement for regular military service for 75 days.

"I want to believe that the Government of Serbia will approve this decision", Vucic said on September 14 during the promotion ceremony of new officers of the Armed Forces of Serbia.

"I want to believe that everyone understands how much we need a strong army, how much more weapons we will have to buy, produce, because it is not our desire to attack anyone, nor will we do it. But our desire is to prevent anyone who threatens us every day without fear", he added, without specifying who is threatening Serbia.

A day ago, the Serbian Prime Minister, Milosh Vu?evi?, said that the Serbian Government is ready, if a political and social agreement is reached, to quickly send the draft law on the return of military service to the Serbian Parliament.

"In 2025, when the administrative and logistical conditions are reached, we will start [with military service]", said Vucevic.

Neighboring Croatia has also announced that starting from January 1, 2025, it will restore mandatory military service with a duration of two months.

In Serbia, compulsory military service was abolished on January 1, 2011, since then only those who want to join the army voluntarily.

European countries that have not abolished compulsory military service are Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Austria, Turkey, Estonia, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Greece and Cyprus./ Rel
