Austria plans to increase period of compulsory military service

The Austrian government announced on Monday that it plans to increase compulsory military service by three months, from six to nine.

Chancellor Christian Stocker, at a press conference in Salzburg, said that the security situation has changed radically in recent years.

"The dream of lasting peace in Europe has been shattered by Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine," the chancellor said.

The three-party coalition government will now hold consultations with the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the Greens, as the reform requires a two-thirds majority in parliament to be approved. The Austrian government estimates that the measure could come into effect on January 1, 2027. /CNA
