This way the Lithuanian Parliament aims to protect the public from a threat when people who are not soldiers and have not been issued a certain mandate may be mistaken as such due to separate elements of military uniform being worn.
Violation of this provision will result in a fine varying from EUR 28 to EUR 144.
The explanatory note of the law states that administrative liability is increased seeking to limit opportunities for illegal actions in the times of peace by other countries' soldiers wearing uniforms without insignia.
