Croatia reintroduces military service as fears of war spilling over from Ukraine rise

Cikk tartalma röviden

Croatia's parliament has reintroduced compulsory military service, voting 84-11 with 30 abstentions. The service will last two months, focusing on basic military training, and aims to enhance national security amid rising tensions in Europe due to the Ukraine conflict. Conscripts born in 2007 will be called for medical checkups, and those who object can opt for civilian service. This move reflects a broader trend in Europe, where several countries are reconsidering conscription to strengthen their military forces.
