§ 01 · The market
How buyers in Serbia search and decide
Belgrade and Novi Sad have growing IT and service sectors, while manufacturing and agri-food are important across the country. Many firms also sell into the EU.
Two scripts
Most online searches use Latin script, but Cyrillic is official and common in media. Pages and research cover both where needed.
IT and outsourcing
Many Serbian IT firms serve clients abroad and market in English.
Manufacturing for the EU
Automotive parts, food and other manufacturers supply EU buyers who search in their own languages.

§ 03 · Rules and timing
Privacy and consent: what changes in Serbia
Serbia has its own national rules on personal data and marketing. General information only, not legal advice.
Data protection in Serbia
Serbia's Law on Personal Data Protection, adopted in 2018, is closely modelled on the GDPR and supervised by the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection.
Tracking and consent
Where you also reach visitors in the EU, I set up consent and tracking to GDPR standards, which keeps you on the safe side at home too. Forms ask only for what you need.
Email and messaging
Marketing messages go only to people who opted in, with a clear way to unsubscribe. Local rules differ, so confirm details with a local adviser.

How we work together from India to Serbia
I work remotely with clients in Europe, the UAE and India. This is what a working week with a client in Serbia looks like.

Time overlap
Serbia is 3.5 to 4.5 hours behind India, so your working morning overlaps with my day.
02
Language
Copy in Serbian is written or checked by a native speaker.
03
Reporting and terms
Monthly plain-English report, written scope and monthly terms.
