Time notation
The 24-hour clock[4] is almost exclusively used in writing, while spoken language is dominated by the 12-hour clock, usually without noting whether the hour is a.m. or p.m. – that information is derived from the context.[citation needed]

In the IANA time zone database, Serbia is given the zone Europe/Belgrade.[5]
