Our Tuorla Observatory has a long tradition in the optical blazar monitoring. To increase our data coverage our Observatory has rented a 60 cm optical telescope (hereafter KVA-telescope) on La Palma from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. This telescope is located quite close to the 4.2 m WHT-telescope. The weather conditions on La Palma are normally excellent with about 300 clear nights per year. Our plan is to modernize the telescope so that finally it should be totally robotic. We are planning to use more than 70% of the observing time for the support observations for the future gamma experiments like MAGIC, INTEGRAL, AGILE and GLAST. We have already tested our telescope in many multifrequency campaigns and it has clearly shown to be an important instrument in the future mw-campaigns on blazars. .
