19 июля 2016

The President has signed a decree on the conscription of reserve officers to the Armed Forces this year. About 100 reserve officers under the age of 27 who have not undergone compulsory military service and service in the Armed Forces reserve and who are not eligible for a deferment will be conscripted. The Council of Ministers is to provide the President with information on the conscription campaign by 1 February.

This is not the first case of recruiting reserve officers to the Armed Forces in the history of Belarus – similar decrees were signed by the President in 2002 and 2005.
