Group Wants to Make Lipica UNESCO World Heritage Site

Ljubljana, 15 February - A group fighting for the preservation of the Lipica stud farm in its present form will try to get this home to the famed Lipizzaner horse listed as the UNESCO World Heritage Site. This would prevent the planned expansion of a golf course in the area, the head of the International Association for Lipica told the press on Thursday.
