The Bulgarian government is reported to be planing making legislative changes to reinstate military training at schools.
According to a publication in Bulgarian wide-circulation tabloid Telegraf, the amendments to the Law on the Military Reserve prepared by the team of Minister of Defense Anyu Anglov foresee mandatory military training at high schools.
