Number format in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Mobile numbers in Bosnia and Herzegovina have 8 digits after +387. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (061 123 456); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +387 61 123 456.
Alphabet and segments
Texts in Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian (Latin and Cyrillic) fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use č, ć, đ, š and ž, and Cyrillic text,: those letters are outside GSM-7 and turn the message into Unicode at 70 characters per segment (67 per part). For short alerts, write them without those letters to keep one segment; for longer texts, the console names each letter that changed the encoding.
Time zone and timing
Bosnia and Herzegovina changes its clocks: Sarajevo is on UTC+1 in January and UTC+2 in July. 09:00 in Sarajevo is 08:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example +01:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.
