Croatia is requiring mandatory military service in 2025 | Expat in Croatia
Due to deficits in recruitment, Croatia has decided to start mandatory military and civil service for young Croatian men (with citizenship) starting January 1, 2025.

Why are they doing this?
Why will be drafted?
What will the training look like?
Can you conscientiously object?
Where will the training take place?
Will there be compensation?
Can you defer your service?
