It's one of few remaining militarily non-aligned countries. If Big War breaks out it is unlikely Serbia will be enacting conscription. It is also not a likely nuke target.

Serbia non-aligned militarily? I'm not sure that is accurate.

  Care to elaborate? Serbia is not a member of NATO or other military alliances, does not supply arms to any country involved in current conflicts, and says it loudly.

  Despite that, it is accurate [0]. On a somewhat related note, Yugoslavia was one of the founding countries of the Non-Alligned movement. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Military_alliances_involving_Serbia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Military_alliances_...

The country not being a nuclear target is only a relevant advantage if you move there. Also, conscription is absolutely irrelevant for someone his age. Besides, citizens living abroad are usually not pressed into service, even in times of war.

> It's one of few remaining militarily non-aligned countries. There are lots of countries that are strictly militarily non-aligned (as in, not members of any mutual defense pact.) It is true that there are relatively few countries that are not either militarily aligned or strongly in the geopolitical orbit of one or more of Russia, China, or the US, but...Serbia isn't in this category, either.

As far as orbits go, for all its bravado about 'brotherly' Russia, it is actually mostly dependent on the EU
