Eastern European Time events not correct in other Timezones

I am hitting a quite specific issue. I am working working more with colleagues in Eastern European Timezone, I am in UK. They are using EET, which should be UTC +2. But Calendar is treating these events as EEST (EE Sumer Time), and so as UTC + 3.

Hence the calendar events show up in UK time as 1 hour earlier than they should be:

EEST - 12:00

EET - 11:00

UK BST - 10:00

UTC - 9:00

IOS Calendar is handling these events correctly - it knows recognises EET. But OS/X Calendar seems to think these events are EEST and so sets them an hour early.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same issue, BUT with Exchange calendar only. Google calendar works fine.

I set 'Eastern European, standard time' as my default time zone in Calendar app.

I create event and set the same timezone ('Eastern European, standard time').

Then I update calendar (Cmd + R) and my event automatically move to 1 hour back.
