Time zone settings for Bulgaria are incorrect on computers that are running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows NT 4.o, and Windows 2000.
Note that the name of Bulgaria's capital should be "Sofia" (instead of "Sofija"), and the time zone for Bulgaria should be GMT+2 (the same time zone as "Helsinki, Riga, Tallinn").
