Croatia reintroduces military conscription as Europe worries about Russia-Ukraine war

Croatia's parliament on Friday voted to reintroduce compulsory military service in the European Union and NATO member country. The move comes amid heightened tensions in Europe following the Russian aggression against Ukraine, as well as an apparent arms race and military buildup in the Balkans, which went through a bloody war in the 1990s. The army service will last two months and provide “basic military training,” public broadcaster HRT said.
