yellow and white neutral and red should be coming from the switch.
But it doesn’t really matter if it’s for a light fixture, you could invert them for the same result.
Also in Belgium, if you have 2x230v or 3x230v you might be without a real neutral and 3 phases of 130v so again it wouldn’t matter.

Welcome to old houses, where electricians of the past didn’t give a flying f**k about consistent color wiring.
At first glance, the middle one seems to be yellow/green, so that’s probably the earth. The other two will then be the power wires. But yeah, as Kevlar013 said – measure it first!

1. Light’s dont care about polarity
2. Always measure to be sure
3. Measure again before you start working to make sure its off

No way to know for sure on sight. Measure it.

Never go by color. Always measure/test.
