To mark Bulgaria’s national day, 3 March, Washington DC was supposed to illuminate Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in the colours of the Bulgarian national flag. But instead of white, green and red, at 6.30 PM local time the bridge was illuminated in white, blue and red.

All institutions concerned have been notified and the mistake is being investigated, BNR’s correspondent in Washington DC Mladen Petkov reports.
