The act introduces numerous changes to defense law affecting both soldiers and ordinary citizens. Soldiers gain new financial entitlements for foreign training, better family security, and new motivational benefits. Citizens must remember the new ban on photographing marked military and special service facilities.
Key points
New ban on photographing military and special service facilities marked with special sign – fine applies, and permit must be obtained within 7 days.
Soldiers sent abroad for studies over 6 months may bring their families – entitled to reimbursement of travel, accommodation, health insurance, and children's education costs.
New motivational benefit introduced for soldiers performing particularly risky or important tasks, e.g., in war zones or crisis management.
Professional soldiers in war zones abroad receive accident insurance – also covers families during longer stays.
Faster and simpler recruitment procedures – shortened process, eliminated unnecessary steps, candidates can choose their own medical commission.
Higher compensation for families after soldier's death – increased rates for spouses, children, and other family members.
Persons who attended military exercises in early 2023 without travel reimbursement can now claim it within 12 months of the act's entry into force.
