I'm having trouble following the suspicion here. The founder lived in Belgrade for decades before moving to the US, so opening an office there seems like a straightforward decision: you build where you have roots, local knowledge, and existing connections. That's not a red flag...

As for Serbia itself: yes, it's not in the EU, but it's been in the accession process since 2012. The timeline is slow, but the country is economically integrated with Europe. If we're treating a Serbian office as inherently suspicious, that's a bar most of the tech industry wouldn't clear.
