Defense leaders satisfied: most answered the call Soon paid reservists will also be called. Civilian mobilization has been absent for eight years Soon paid reservists will also be called Civilian mobilization has been absent for eight years TIRANË - Just one day after the publication of the first phase of military mobilization in the country and simultaneously in Kosovo, President Meidani yesterday ordered the declaration of the state of "readiness". As is learned, the Minister of Defense signed the order at 8 in the morning. Meanwhile, district commissioners have begun knocking on doors from house to house. First, reserve and discharged officers were called up, as well as various specialists. Those with experience and a younger age were mainly preferred. The partial mobilization apparently is not being limited only to the necessary personnel. By all indications, paid reservists are also expected to be taken in. This means that the army’s units and formations need a large number of forces, although for now that number has not been made public. Last night’s order from the Ministry of Defense emphasized that all notified persons must report. It is learned that so far the turnout has been over 60 percent. Sources from the ministry said that the 24-hour delay of the alert had been due to problems with the districts. In a letter yesterday, commissioners were asked to report how many specialists were found and how many were ready to report. It appears that today the exact number of personnel to be assembled will be determined. The Defense order also refers to maintaining calm by the reservists who report. They will be organized according to the relevant structures. The Defense Ministry states that the country needs to be prepared for any eventuality. (To be continued on page 3)
