The Army of the Republic of North Macedonia is a fully professional Army and so far there are no plans or consultative processes for the return of mandatory military service, the Ministry of Defense informed today.

The decision on a professional army, the MoD states, will continue to be applied, while fulfilling all the state's obligations arising from membership in the Alliance.

- The Ministry of Defense is an institution in which every professional has the right, the opportunity, but also the obligation to express his opinion and to have it heard. If there is public interest, the Ministry is open to discuss any issue, including this one, the MoD said in a statement.
