The provision in the constitution about the neutrality of Moldova has been only just discussed. The then government or the president, especially, the former chair of the Communist Party of Moldova at that time, even made a move to reduce the numbers of the National Army, claiming that the neutrality of the country did not require having such a huge army which, of course, requires much financial support.
It has been reduced. Today we are recruiting; it's mandatory for all youngsters who reach the age of 18 to serve. Exceptions are granted or recruitment can be delayed if they have entered university, for example. It can be delayed for the time they are studying, but then they still have to go through some training. Today, we believe this is still not a very efficient tool. We have to make our army professional. People assume the responsibility, and if they decide to join the army, this should be on a contractual basis, and perhaps for one or two years. It's being discussed.
