Croatians sign petition against proposed 2025 mandatory military service reintroduction.

Thousands of Croatians sign petition against proposed reintroduction of mandatory military service in 2025, citing global unrest. Abolished in 2008, the new plan involves enlisting 18,000 young men annually for a three-month service period. The Centre for Economic Education, which organized the petition, demands alternative policies to fulfill defense tasks. Croatia joined NATO in 2009 and the EU in 2013.
