Conscription Back In Lithuania Over Russia

Lithuania, one of the three Baltic States, is to bring back conscription amid concerns about Russia's potential expansionist plans within the region.

It was suspended in 2008 in preference for a professional army but the country's leaders are disappointed with the level of interest.

As a result, Lithuania intends to strengthen its defences by conscription.

Conscription will be in force for a five-year period.

A statement from President Dalia Grybauskaite's office said: "The State Defence Council, taking into account the geopolitical situation and threats to the state's security, decided that the country's defence capabilities need to be strengthened further.

"We must reinforce the country's defence capacities.
