ECDSA CVCA cannot process RSA cert request

In my testing, CA & DV of Country A is using ECDSA as signing algorithm and that of Country B is RSA.  The CA of Country A cannot process cert request from DV of Country B and also the vice versa.  Is this expected or if it indicates that there is something wrong, say, in my settings?

Thanks.

It is expected and stated in the EAC standard.

The whole certificate chain for an EAC passport must use the same
algorithm. This means that Country B must create a new DV with the same
algorithm of country A, and send the request from that DV to country A.

It is the responsibility of the country with the DV to see to that the
requests sent to another countrys CVCA uses that CVCAs algorithm.

Tomas
