After a 16-year hiatus, one European country is restoring compulsory military service

The Serbian government has announced plans to reintroduce mandatory military service for men aged up to 30, with an expected duration of 75 days. This follows Serbia’s transition to a professional army in January 2011 after parliamentary decision to suspend conscription. President Aleksandar Vucic stated during a military demonstration near Belgrade that the move would involve necessary procedures before implementation, starting in March of the next year. The announcement highlights ongoing discussions about national defense strategies and potential changes in military recruitment policies.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about Serbia’s planned reintroduction of conscription without overtly favoring any political ideology. It includes quotes from official sources such as the president and references to historical decisions by the parliament. There is no clear ideological slant
