In Serbia, the standard time is Central European Time (CET; UTC+01:00; Serbian: средњоевропско време/srednjoevropsko vreme).[1] Daylight saving time is observed from the last Sunday in March (02:00 CET) to the last Sunday in October (03:00 CEST).[2] Serbia adopted CET in 1884.[3]

Time notation

The 24-hour clock[4] is almost exclusively used in writing, while spoken language is dominated by the 12-hour clock, usually without noting whether the hour is a.m. or p.m. – that information is derived from the context.
