Just imagine: It’s your big day. You get to meet the president.

But you forget to wear a belt. Or suspenders. Or anything to hold up your drawers.

Ivan Zvonimir Cica, the head of Croatia’s human rights committee, was standing next to the country’s president, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, Tuesday when his pants dropped to the floor.

The pair were displaying a large declaration before the media, in honor of International Human Rights Day, the Huffington Post reports.

The president, who didn’t miss a beat, could be seen moving the large award to quickly cover Cicak’s embarrassment.
