Students at state institutions of higher learning will be able to take military courses to boost the Bulgarian army reserve, stated Minister of Defense Anyu Angelov Sunday.
The new bill on the army reserve is almost ready and will be tabled to Parliament after end of October, added he.
The training is set to include both theoretical and practical courses, including summer camps. Graduates of the courses will have the opportunity to join the professional army or reserve.
