I would say that this issue will lead to embarrassing negative
publicity, because it is common with neighboring countries to have some
sort of animosity; seeing the timezone of some other country when you
select your city is going to be bad.

What I recommend is to disable the auto-calculation of the timezone
based on proximity of the city. The user would have to pick the timezone
on her own. In usability terms it is cumbersome, but I find it as an
easy quick-fix.
