As of 1 January 2011, Serbia no longer practises mandatory military service. Prior to this, mandatory military service lasted 6 months for men. Conscientious objectors could however opt for 9 months of civil service instead.
History
On 15 December 2010, the National Assembly voted to suspend mandatory military service. The decision fully came into force on 1 January 2011.
From 10–17 December 2016, sociologist Srećko Mihailović conducted a nationwide survey with a sample size of 1,200 adults on whether Serbia should return conscription, with the results being that 75% of respondents supported a return of conscription in Serbia. A 2018 poll found support for Conscription at 74%, while a 2021 poll found support at 75%.
In August 2018, president Aleksandar Vučić said the country was considering the idea of reintroducing conscription from 2020, to help improve the combat readiness of the Serbian Army.
On 4 January 2024, the Serbian General Staff proposed reintroduction of conscription to president Vučić. On 13 September 2024, Vučić said that he had approved of the proposal.
