EU Protocol Chief Reveals All
Diplomatic protocol is about respecting the hierarchy, precedence, and values in diplomatic relations. Although protocol may look like routine and boring ritual to outsiders, in fact it involves a great deal of hidden meaning and symbolism. In a recent article in the EUobserver, the European Union head of protocol shares his inside experience of the oddities of EU statesmen, of power politics in protocol diplomacy, and of security concerns.
