The European Union demanded that the new Serbian government impose sanctions against Russia. In the European Commission's annual report on enlargement, Belgrade was reprimanded for "not making progress" towards joining the European Union, and demanded that the new authorities in the country "change this trend". They note that the other candidates for EU membership, apart from Turkey, have imposed sanctions against the Russian Federation, and Serbia has consistently refused to do so. Brussels wants Belgrade to "clearly and unequivocally adhere to European values, especially in foreign policy."
