History edit
The government announced on 10 October 2011 that they would not be switching back from DST, after President Igor Smirnov signed a decree abolishing winter time.[2][4][5] However, Smirnov changed his mind according to local media reports, and Transnistria continued observing both winter and summer time.[6]
