Symfony2 - NotBlank constraint not working on EntityType

I have two EntityType fields in my form and both has NotBlank constraint assigned to them.

Now, I have this issue that NotBlank constraint is not working only on one field with multiple => true set on.

$builder
    ->add('preferredCountries', EntityType::class, array(
        'required' => false,
        'class' => 'IndexBundle:Country',
        'property' => 'name',
        'empty_value' => 'Choose',
        'multiple' => true,
        'query_builder' => function (EntityRepository $er) {
            return $er->createQueryBuilder('c')
                ->where('c.name != :name')
                ->orderBy('c.name', 'ASC')
                ->setParameter('name', 'Other');
        },
        'constraints' => array(
            new NotBlank(array(
                'message' => 'blank!!!',
            )),
        )
    ))
    ->add('internshipProgram', EntityType::class, array(
        'required' => false,
        'class' => 'IndexBundle:InternshipProgram',
        'property' => 'name',
        'empty_value' => 'Choose',
        'constraints' => array(
            new NotBlank(array(
                'message' => 'blank!!!',
            )),
        )
    ))

In this case when I submit empty values, field internshipProgram get an error, and prefferedCountries not.

Form display:

<div class="form-group col-xs-12">
    {{ form_label(current_internship_form.preferredCountries, 'Preferred countries', { 'label_attr': {'class': 'label-text'} }) }}
    {{ form_widget(current_internship_form.preferredCountries) }}
    <span class="error text-danger small">{{ form_errors(current_internship_form.preferredCountries) }}</span>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-xs-12">
    {{ form_label(current_internship_form.internshipProgram, 'What type of training agreement will you have?', { 'label_attr': {'class': 'label-text'} }) }}
    {{ form_widget(current_internship_form.internshipProgram, { 'id': 'internship_program', 'attr': {'class': 'form-control '}}) }}
    <span class="error text-danger small">{{ form_errors(current_internship_form.internshipProgram) }}</span>
</div>

Is there a mistake in my code or is it somehow related to multiple choice selection? Has anyone had similar issue and know how to solve it?

Also you can specify at Entity level,

    /**
     * @Count(min = 1, minMessage = "At least one branch must be selected")
     */
    protected $multiCheckBox;

You can't use NotBlank constraint on EntityType with multiple set to true. As the array will never be null. You should try using the count constraint like this:

$builder
    ->add('preferredCountries', EntityType::class, array(
        'required' => false,
        'class' => 'IndexBundle:Country',
        'property' => 'name',
        'empty_value' => 'Choose',
        'multiple' => true,
        'query_builder' => function (EntityRepository $er) {
            return $er->createQueryBuilder('c')
                ->where('c.name != :name')
                ->orderBy('c.name', 'ASC')
                ->setParameter('name', 'Other');
        },
        'constraints' => array(
               new Count(array(
                   'min' => 1,
                   'minMessage' => "Should not be blank"
               ))
            )
    ))
...
