## Summary

**This bill would condition U.S. engagement and assistance on Serbia making credible progress on democratic governance and rule of law.** It ties sanctions, reporting, and certification to steps on media freedom, judicial accountability, and alignment with the European Union and NATO. - Serbian citizens and civil society: Would push U.S. support toward independent media, civil society, and judicial reform and require a 90-day strategy that assesses Serbia's investigation of the Novi Sad disaster and use of force against protesters. - Reporting and oversight: Would require an unclassified 180-day report, coordinated with the Defense and Intelligence communities, on Russian and Chinese influence in Serbia and risks to U.S. interests. - Diplomacy, sanctions, and aid: Would require the Secretary to certify that key issues will be addressed before U.S. officials take part in the U.S.-Serbia Strategic Dialogue, authorize targeted financial and visa sanctions on malign actors, and tie expanded assistance to sustained certification. The bill would sunset after 5 years.
