> Serbia: Has Serbian infrastructure been tested by a sustained Russian cyberattack? There is Microsoft software development center in Belgrade (for 25 years).

  It's not nothing, thanks for the constructive comment. Microsoft is pretty much a US asset defended by the US government at this point, so their risk profile would be quite different than a much smaller tech company. I doubt they were depending on getting the 400 mil financial commitment they made to Ukraine any time soon a few years back, for example. That and many actions seem to be done in support of US foreign policy so they can retain the preference of the US government (ie other contracts etc) in the long term, as opposed to a normal tech investment decision. But like I said, it's not nothing. As a smaller tech company if Microsoft steps in when the shit hits the fan and aids in keeping Serbian cyber infrastructure running smoothly, as a smaller tech company you would indirectly benefit.
