Yes, you have rights. What the rights are depends upon whether you live in Ohio, whether you are mother or father, whether paternity is established, and most important of all, whether you have the money to prosecute an international child custody war.

Yes. The problem is whether you can enforce them.

You probably have some rights, but it would appear that only Serbian law can provide an answer right now. The fact that your daughter is a US Citizen is only part of the important information needed to provide an answer to your question. And, more importantly, whatever your "rights" are, it is going to require involvement of the Serbian courts. So, you need to consult a lawyer familiar with international custody law to find out more about your options and perhaps get a referral to a lawyer in Serbia.
