Many people who think that moving the clock has always existed will be surprised that we have been doing it in Slovenia only since March 27, 1983.
Transition to summer time it happened in the spring last Sunday in March or first Sunday in April, and the transition to standard time took place in the fall the last Sunday in September or the first Sunday in October.
After the independence of Slovenia, the old Yugoslav Time Calculation Act was used until the Slovenian Time Calculation Act was adopted in 1993. The content was the same as the previously valid law, and it did not specifically take into account the coordination of transitions with other countries in Europe. In 1996, an amended law was passed, which determined the transition from summer to standard time on the last Sunday in October. This law already represented coordination with other European countries, as the chosen transition times were a compromise between the countries of continental Europe and Great Britain.
And why are we moving the clock?!
The shift of the clock was introduced in order to take advantage of daylight or to prevent people from sleeping while the Sun shines. Office hours move forward between the spring and summer months so that work and school hours fit more closely with daylight hours. In this way, we achieve energy savings.
Today, a minority of countries in the world use summer time, not yet fully coordinated. In Europe, all countries except Iceland use summer time. Daylight saving time has been in use in Yugoslavia since 1982, Slovenia has been using it since 1991.
