Serbia should reintroduce compulsory military service, the Balkan country's president said Tuesday, citing tensions in the Balkans and elsewhere in Europe. After a meeting with top army commanders, President Aleksandar Vucic said that they gave him "a strong argumentation" in favor of the mandatory draft, which was suspended in 2011 in a push to professionalize the armed forces, should be reintroduced.
