Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.
everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia. Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>GermanyThe government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>DenmarkExpanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.

Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.
