Those in professions where weapons are used should undergo compulsory military training. This is being considered by the Ministry of War, Minister Atanas Zapryanov told BNR.
"Our idea is that compulsory military training should not be understood as conscription or compulsory for all citizens, but only for those who want to work and whose profession is related to the use of weapons," the minister explained. If the proposal is approved by the National Assembly, the measure would affect border guards, court guards and even those working in private security companies.
Atanas Zapryanov also said that defence spending should be increased and the armed forces should be strengthened. The increase in the defence budget is about 138 million euro, and it covers the salaries of military personnel under their new pay system from January 1. This has led to increased interest in military service,' he added.
