The Ministry of Defense in Croatia has introduced changes to three regulations related to basic military training and the fulfillment of military service obligations. These changes clarify that if a conscript's health condition changes during their training, a rapid assessment of their ability to continue must be conducted. This comes after approximately 100 conscripts did not complete their basic military training due to health-related issues. The assessments will now be carried out exclusively at two institutions: the Institute for Naval Medicine in Split and the Institute for Aviation Medicine in Zagreb. The head of the Human Potential Management Office, Ivan Jušić, stated that this number is not alarming, noting that the training is physically and mentally demanding. Additionally, the regulation regarding salary supplements for active military personnel has been updated, increasing the supplement from 4% to 6% of the base salary for those working with conscripts, as managing conscripts is considered more challenging than managing professional soldiers.
