"The General Staff and the minister of defense presented a convincing argument for mandatory military service to be reinstated, but many financial, logistical and other conditions must be fulfilled. They should submit all proposals to me by May 1," said the president.

He added that after this date, he will sit down with the military cabinet, the General Staf and the Government of Serbia, and if there is a positive decision, the proposal will go before the Serbian Assembly.
