Tiivistelmä
We report here the first results of a program aimed at obtaining high signal to noise (up to similar to 500) optical spectroscopy of a large sample of BL Lac objects using ESO VLT+FORS1. New spectroscopic observations have been obtained for 31 objects, which allows us to obtain new redshift for 13 targets and provide better classification for others. In a number of cases no lines are detected and lower limits to the redshift can be estimated.
