The paper discusses influence of relativistic effects in gamma-burst propagation and the time sync. It is shown that the phenomenon of gamma-source aberration, while using the localization algorithm based on the estimates of gamma-burst arrival time instants should be regarded as relativistic effect. Criterions are derived which determine whether it is necessary to account for the relativistic effects, depending on the localization accuracy.
