Explanation:  The Serbs wanted all the Balkan countries of the Balkans to be free and independent, under the influence of the growing wave of nationalist ideas and the creation of national states. Therefore, the Serbs were not interested in overthrowing any Austria-Hungarian government as long as it had authority over territories with ethnic Austrian or non-Slavic people. Nor did the Serbs want to join the Slavs territories with Austria Hungary.

When it comes to relations between Serbia and Austria Hungary, as well as the mentioned nationalism, which occurs in these relations, it is about the period after the Berlin Congress, that is, Serbia already had independence from the Turks. In addition to Serbia, Montenegro was the only country with independence, while Slovenia and Croatia were under Austria Hungary, Macedonia and Kosovo still under Turkey until the end of Balkan Wars (1912 - 1913). The turmoil was around Bosnia, while Bulgaria had an official independence since 1878, in order to become practically independent in 1908.
