For clients in Serbia we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, Law on Personal Data Protection requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
