A president, a mayor, a minister, a football legend, pop and folk music stars have merrily gathered in one place.

As unbelievable as it may sound, the images of ten of Bulgaria's most popular personalities co-live in a sweet and peaceful manner - in the unique collection of chocolate-molded busts.

President Georgi Parvanov, Sofia Mayor Boyko Borisov, as well as Culture Minister and beloved artist Stefan Danailov topped the list of favourite political personalities.

The fame of Hristo Stoitchkov has earned him also a choco-sweetened bust standing next to that of Slavi Trifonov, a popular talk show host.

Music has brought under one roof - that of the National Arts Gallery - otherwise rivals on the stage, idols of pop and folk styles. Eccentric Azis and his colleagues Ivana and Gloria reveal their "sweet" smiles to visitors of the exhibition. The same posture was granted to Galya and Miro from pop duet KariZma.

The initiative was brought to daylight to mark the fourth-anniversary of Edno (One) Magazine.

Authors of the untraditional busts are prominent Bulgarian sculptors who worked with chocolate from the renowned Bulgarian chocolate producer Svoge.

The exhibition will be open until next Tuesday, April 18.

Then the busts will be sold off at auction and funds will be granted to finance scholarships of young authors abroad.
