We switch to daylight saving time on March 29 at 3:00 AM local time, BTA reported, citing the Bulgarian Institute of Metrology.

Clocks are moved forward by one hour in accordance with Directive 2000/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of January 19, 2001. 

On October 26 last year, our country switched to winter time. 

In 2018, a proposal was presented to discontinue the twice-yearly change of time in the European Union, it is stated on the website of the European Council. Until a final decision is made, the current system remains in force.
