The mayor of the municipality of Karlovo, eng. Naiden Naidenov was given the honor to have the first cut of the 50 metre long kozunak (sweet bread) on the square “July 20th” in the city.

The kozunak was made by a firm in the village Vedrare. It consisted of 170 eggs, 7 kg. raisins, 7 kg. sugar. It required special utensils to prepare and bake the entire bread. Easter eggs were lined along the length of the kozunak. They were painted by children from the kindergartens in Karlovo.
