All three Baltic countries by now have conscription. Estonia never actually said goodbye to its conscription. It has had it since the early 1990s, when they regained independence. In fact, the Baltic states and also the Nordic countries all have some sort of total defence system or “whole of society” defence system, where the civilian contribution to national defence and security is paramount to those systems. Lithuania basically had a sort of hybrid conscription system. They also went back to a fuller type of conscription earlier.
In terms of population support for conscription or national service, which Latvia reintroduced a year or so ago, there always tends to be some sort of concern as to whether the population will be fine with it and whether people will actually be happy to serve.
