A human rights activist in Croatia was left feeling a little breezy after his trousers fell down at the precise moment that he received an award from the country’s president.

Ivan Zvonimir Cicak reached out to take the award from president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic when the nightmare scenario happened, leaving him decidedly red-faced.

Well recovered

Cicak, the head of the Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights could be seen desperately pulling up his trousers before continuing with the ceremony.

Luckily, the President was holding the award at the time - and saved Cicak’s blushes as the award covered his pants.

Cicak was presented with the award, alongside his committee, ahead of International Human Rights Day on December 10.
