Serbia operates on Central European Time (CET) during winter months, which is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+1). During daylight saving time, observed from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, Serbia switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2.
All of Serbia follows the same timezone. Major cities including Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, and Kragujevac all observe the same time. Serbia shares its timezone with most of Central and Southeastern Europe.
Belgrade is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, with settlements dating back over 7,000 years. The city sits at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. Serbia is the birthplace of Nikola Tesla, the inventor who pioneered alternating current (AC) electricity—the very technology that powers our modern clocks.
