NSDate and NSDateComponents return wrong date

I know that this question was asked a million times, I just can't find a solution. The problem is: I'm modifying an NSDate to return either the date of the first day in the current month or the date of the first day in the next month. It seems to be working fine except for 1 thing: it gives back the time minus 2 or 3 hours.

Code:

NSCalendar *theCalendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar]; int comp = NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit; NSDateComponents *theComp = [theCalendar components:comp fromDate:date]; [theComp setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]]; switch (roundingMode) { case FIRST_OF_MONTH: [theComp setDay:1]; return [theCalendar dateFromComponents:theComp]; case FIRST_OF_NEXT_MONTH: [theComp setMonth:theComp.month+1]; [theComp setDay:1]; return [theCalendar dateFromComponents:theComp]; } 

Here's the debugger(gdb) output:

(gdb) po theComp <NSDateComponents: 0x6e26170> TimeZone: Europe/Kiev (EET) offset 7200 Calendar Year: 2012 Month: 3 Day: 1 (gdb) po date 2012-03-12 13:05:22 +0000 (gdb) po [theCalendar dateFromComponents:theComp] 2012-02-29 22:00:00 +0000 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
