The self-proclaimed "commander-in-chief" Aleksandar Vučić promised the Hungarians, who rebelled against military service, that he would find a solution for them. And what about other national minorities - Bosniaks, Roma, Slovaks, Montenegrins, Romanians, Albanians. Will only Serbs join the Serbian Army?
If mandatory military service is indeed introduced, the owners of taverns and tents will be the happiest - there's work for them to send them off. As for everyone else - there are too many vagueness in the proposal that is on the table, as if a group of ignorant people played a little with the Serbian Army
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said on Saturday, September 14, that he signed the agreement for mandatory military service for men, which would last 75 days. Military training for women remains voluntary
Thirteen years after Serbia switched to a professional army, the initiative to introduce it was launched again. The initiative was launched by the General Staff of the Serbian Army and the proposal will be submitted to the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić. The decision caused conflicting reactions from the professional public and government representatives
Where did this proposal come from, when until now it has been successfully announced that we have enough soldiers to fulfill all the tasks assigned to them? And where did the suddenly different "security situation" come from, when tensions with Kosovo have subsided and vehicles with Kosovo license plates enter and go through Serbia normally?
The decision on the return of mandatory military service has almost been made, if the political leadership is to be believed. It's just that it's still not clear how all that should look, how much it would cost, and how it would affect the combat readiness of the Serbian Army, which in recent years shines only in media presentations. It is clear what Vučić thinks about it: it should be returned, so that men mature and learn what patriotism, obligations and work are.
