The Swedish government is expected to adopt a decision on Thursday to resume the military conscription in the country beginning 2018 due to the lack of volunteer recruits, local media reported.

The decision comes amid difficulties with filling the military units on the voluntary basis, the Swedish SR radio reported, citing Swedish Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist.
