About the time in Craiova
Sunrise today lands at 06:34 and sunset at 08:21 local time, giving 13h 47m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (44.32, 23.80) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Craiova.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Craiova 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.
The zone identifier Europe/Bucharest is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Bucharest keeps pointing at Bucharest time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
