Thomas Rewekamp, chairman of the Bundestag Defense Committee, has proposed making military service in the Bundeswehr mandatory for both men and women, Tagesspiegel reported on August 26. He argued that voluntary enlistment or male-only conscription would not be sufficient in the long term, stressing that every citizen and resident, regardless of gender or origin, should dedicate one year to serving society.
The legal procedure for reinstating compulsory military service in Croatia, set to take effect in mid-2025, will begin in January. The Ministry of Defense in Zagreb reported that the Croatian Parliament still needs to pass several laws to regulate the matter, according to the national broadcaster HRT , News.az reports.
