In Europe you should almost always specify pridialplan=unknown if you use 
escape digits ("0"). You are claiming that the number you dial is in the 
national format which is defined as a fully formed (including area code) 
number without any escape digits in front. Since you start with an esacpe 
digit almost anything can happen. In your case the telecom operator may 
have interpeted your number as +38 xxxxx.
