About the time in Balkan
Balkan runs on Europe/Sofia, which puts the city UTC +3 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Balkan day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Balkan follows the civil time used across its region of Bulgaria; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
