§ 03.5About the calendar

Why Smetalnik
makes this calendar.

About the team →

A reliable
source for the year.

We see our clients wasting time every year — comparing websites, asking their accountant, confusing Easter dates. That is why we created this calendar: a single source of truth, updated once and accessible everywhere.

Holidays are updated according to the Labor Code and the decisions of the Council of Ministers. When the government announces a change — an added day off or moving a bridge day — we publish the update up to 24 hours.

The calendar is free and ad-free. It is enough that you use it — this tells us that Smetalnik is useful.

§ Accuracy

The data is from the Labor Code, Art. 154

And from the published Council of Ministers decisions for the specific year.

§ Updates

Up to 24 hours after a Council of Ministers decision

If there is a change in working/non-working days — you will know immediately.

§ Coverage

2025 · 2026 · onwards

Archive of past years and projection for the next one.
