In this context, Mihnea Motoc announced that starting January 1st next year will come into effect the law regarding Volunteer Reservist. It stipulates that people who have performed military service can enter, upon request, in a concentrated form of training and those who have no military knowledge to participate, also volunteer, at training courses.
