The French Protocol doesn’t know the Lithuanian flag

The Strategic Partnership between Lithuania and France began with on a wrong foot. The French Diplomatic Protocol, which is one of the most experienced services in the world, is not aware that Lithuania’s nation flag colours are yellow, green and red. As it is apparent in the picture the French Protocol has placed a different flag during the signing of the Declaration of Strategic Partnership between Lithuania and France.

It is also unclear how the Lithuania’s delegation did not notice this unfortunate mistake. Perhaps the French Protocol will make a decent gesture and will publicly apologies for the incident.
