Minister for Diaspora Srdjan Sreckovic says a law will be adopted to introduce amnesty for some who avoided conscription into the armed forces. The law will apply to men aged 30 and over, and will drop criminal charges or suspend court cases against them, he was quoted as saying. Amnesty likely for some draft dodgers Sreckovic explained that a large number of Serbians who live abroad did not postpone their military obligations in a legal manner. "For this reason, we agreed with the defense and the justice ministries to submit a law on amnesty to parliament in the fall, along with the Draft Law on Military, Labor and Material Obligations." "This is a good will gesture toward our young people in the diaspora, who will be able to regulate their status and travel to their country safely," Sreckovic said. The draft law will see those over the age of 30 who legally postponed their conscription automatically transferred to the reserve forces, the minister added.
