Has anyone considered what cities are UTC+3?
• Comoros
• Djibouti
• Eritrea
• Ethiopia
• Kenya
• Madagascar
• Mayotte (France) and Scattered islands in the Indian Ocean (Bassas da India, Europa Island, Juan de Nova Island)
• Somalia
• South Sudan
• Sudan
• Tanzania
• Uganda
Eastern Europe Advanced Time, or Further-eastern European Time (FET)
• Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, Kaliningrad Time
• Ukraine, Kiev Time
• Belarus, Minsk Time
Could pf have caught on to the Orange Revolution a little late?
+4 is Moscow...
Just a few thoughts...
