Ljubljana, 22 May - In what could be a key development in the stand-off involving Ljubljana's squatted former bicycle factory Rog, the city authorities have won ownership lawsuits against eight of Rog's users. The city is ready to start with a commercial makeover of the arts centre, but the Rog community, albeit ready for dialogue, maintains nothing has changed.
