Its ISO 4217 code is BAM; it is locally abbreviated KM. The Bosnian KM uses the same fixed exchange rate to Euro as the German mark (that is, 1 EUR = 1.95583 BAM). You can change money in banks or any post office. The differences in exchange rates are negligible. Local time: Sarajevo is in the Central European Time Zone: GMT + 1 hours (in winter), GMT + 2 during daylight saving time. About Sarajevo The heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the capital Sarajevo. With a population of about more than 400,000 Sarajevo makes full use of its abundance of bustling cafés, local eateries and handicraft shops. One of its unique features, something that has led to it being termed „the Jerusalem of Europe“, is its religiously diverse citizenry. Indeed, few places on earth feature an Orthodox and a Catholic church, a mosque and a synagogue within walking distance. A city with characteristics of the East (enriched by the Byzantine and Ottoman empires) and the West (the Roman, Venetian and Austro-Hungarian empires), Sarajevo holds a central charm that visitors feel, encompassing the best of both worlds. The city itself encompasses four quarters: the old town (Baščaršija), the new town, the centre and New Sarajevo. Each district provides every traveler endless opportunities: for relaxation, vigorous sightseeing and, above all, the unique experiences gained as you share this city with Sarajevo's locals. It’s valuable to know that Bosnia has fresh and clean waters and you can drink it just by passing by pipes on the streets all around. And Sarajevo is the first town in Europe to have a water supply. Key Landmarks City Hall City Hall (Vijećnica), a symbol of Sarajevo, is the most beautiful example of pseudo- Moorish building in Sarajevo. Erected in 1896, it was the seat of city authorities until the end of World War II, after which Vijećnica became the National Library. During 1992 shelling, close to 90 percent of invaluable books and manuscripts kept there were destroyed. Vijećnica is currently under reconstruction. Sebilj Sebilj (from Arabic word depicting a kiosk-like public fountain) is designed by the Czech architect Alexander Vitek in pseudo-Moorish style of architecture in 1891. Along with City Hall (Vijećnica), Sebilj is the most recognizable symbol of Sarajevo. Cathedral of Jesus' Sacred Heart (Katedrala) The seat of the Archbishop of Vrhbosna (Upper Bosnia), Cathedral of Jesus Sacred Heart, was built in a neo-gothic style in 1889. The tomb of Josip Štadler, Archbishop of Vrhbosna from the turn of the 20th century, is located in the Cathedral. Beatification of Josip Štadler is currently underway. Congregational Church of the Holy Mother Congregational Church of the Holy Mother is the largest Orthodox house of worship in Sarajevo. It was built in 1868 toward the end of Ottoman rule, by the Macedonian architect Andrija Damjanov. The interior is decorated by richly- painted ornaments. Gazi Husref-bey's mosque (Bey's mosque) Gazi Husref-bey's mosque (Bey's mosque) was built in 1530 year in Sarajevo and it is considered as one of the most significant mosques in B&H and Balkan. It was built by an architect Ajem Esir under Gazi Husref-bey's patronage. The mosque has a quadrate form with 26 meters high dome. Complex of the mosque consists of wooden "sadrvan" (fountain), tower clock, stone fence and several domed burial sites. The Old Temple and Haggadah The Old Temple (Il Cal Grande) was built in 1581 upon the arrival of Sephardic Jews to Sarajevo. The ruler of the European territory of Ottoman Empire gave orders and financed its construction to accommodate to Jews expelled from Spain. Today, the temple houses Jewish Museum. The oldest Sephardic Haggadah in the world, known as Sarajevo Haggadah, is kept in National Museum of B&H.

Would the benefits of such a change outweigh the disadvantages of moving out of synchronicity with the United Kingdom, Ireland and Portugal? A summary table of anticipated benefits and disadvantages is provided below along with the corresponding page numbers in the text. Consideration Benefits Disadvantages Page Number Quality of Life Moving an hour of daylight Negative impact of lower from the morning to the amount of daylight in the evening will allow people to winter mornings.

  • Discontinuing Seasonal Change of Time
    BRIEFING EU Legislation in Progress Discontinuing seasonal changes of time OVERVIEW To end the biannual change of clocks that currently takes place in every Member State at the end of March and the end of October, on 12 September 2018 the European Commission adopted a proposal to discontinue the seasonal changes of time in the Union. The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, presented the initiative in his State of the Union address as an issue of subsidiarity, underlining that 'Member States should themselves decide whether their citizens live in summer or winter time'. The initiative, which would repeal existing provisions governed by Directive 2000/84/EC, proposes a timetable to end seasonal clock-changing arrangements in a coordinated way, in order to safeguard the proper functioning of the internal market and avoid the disruptions that this may cause, for instance, to the transport or communications sectors. As the Council has decided that a proper impact assessment should be conducted before it can reach a political agreement, the file is due to be closed at first reading, with a vote in Parliament’s plenary in March 2019 on the TRAN committee’s report. Proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and the Council discontinuing seasonal changes of time and repealing Directive 2000/84/EC Committee responsible: Transport and Tourism (TRAN) COM(2018) 639 Rapporteur: Marita Ulvskog (S&D, Sweden) 12.9.2018 Shadow rapporteurs: Pavel Svoboda (EPP, Czech Republic) 2018/0332(COD) Kosma Złotowski (ECR, Poland) Izaskun

INTRODUCTION The increasing demand for information regarding time in various cities and countries of the world, especially since the development of radio broadcasting, has led to the compilation of the information recorded in this paper. The data have been collected from various sources, and while the results given are believed to be correct at the time they were ob- tained, the rapid progress being made in world communication may necessitate frequent revision.
