If you order it anyway, say this (Serbian)

Punjene Paprike želim sa samo mesnim punjenjem, bez riže i prezli. Molim vas, da paradajz sos ima minimalno šećera ili nimalo.

For the Punjene Paprike, I need a meat-only filling, no rice or breadcrumbs. Please ensure minimal or no sugar in the tomato sauce.

Watch out for

Rice is the main traditional carb in the filling. Hidden sugars in tomato sauce/paste. Potential for flour thickeners in the sauce (less common but possible).
