Former Serbian Minister of Defense, Dragan Sutanovac told N1 on Wednesday that the reintroduction of mandatory military service is just a media initiative aimed at diverting public attention from Kosovo as the most crucial topic.

Sutanovac added he doubts it would be realized, saying the current Defense Ministry is “lost and incapable of finishing the process of professionalization of the army.”
