Daylight Saving Time (DST) Rules
Parts or all of Serbia observe Daylight Saving Time (DST). During the warmer months, clocks are moved forward by one hour to make better use of evening daylight. When DST is in effect, both sunrise and sunset occur one hour later according to the clock. For international callers, these transitions directly affect the time difference with countries that do not observe DST, which can unexpectedly shift regular meeting schedules by an hour.
