“Draft notices were sent to citizens via SMS messages and notifications in their personal accounts on the eGov portal. Deferrals and exemptions from conscription were granted automatically,” the Ministry of Defense noted.
The ministry said that during the conscription campaign, together with local military administration bodies, it carried out information and explanatory work on conscription issues.
“Through hotline numbers, during personal receptions of citizens and at information meetings, conscripts and their parents received comprehensive answers to all their questions,” the Ministry of Defense said.
