NO need to divide Moldova into two timezones at this point. As of today, Transnistria (Pridnestrovie)- Tiraspol reversed its own decision to abolish DST this winter. Following Moldova and neighboring Ukraine- Transnistria (Pridnestrovie)- Tiraspol will go back to winter time on October 30, 2011.

Oh, sorry.  I didn't read the instructions carefully enough.   The change suggested will be in the next version.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin promised to convey to President Dmitry Medvedev suggestions from Russian football fans about the cancellation of the transition to winter time. During an informal conversation with the head of government organizations, football fans raised the issue that the cancellation of the transition to winter creates uncomfortable conditions. In particular, it leaves less time for sleep. If, for example, a football match is broadcast rather late in European time, due to the time difference it makes getting up early for work difficult.
