BELGRADE - Serbian Defence Minister Milos Vucevic announced on Thursday the Serbian Armed Forces General Staff would submit an initiative to the president of Serbia as commander-in-chief and the parliament to abolish a decision to suspend compulsory military service.

The move would reinstate the law on compulsory military service, Vucevic told Happy TV.

More precisely, they will launch an initiative to reactivate the law that defines mandatory military service.
Vucevic said that such military service should last up to 4 months, and it can be shorter, but that will only be seen when the length of the training is assessed, but it will certainly not be a year or even six months long.
