We are presenting the first results of low dispersion spectroscopic observation of asteroids at Bulgarian National Astronomical Observatory Rozhen. Asteroids with unclassified spectra and brighter than 15 magnitude have been chosen. Besides just presenting the asteroid reflectance, classification according to Bus S. J. et al. (2012) has been done. The asteroid spectra of 590 Tomyris, 703 Noemi, 1596 Itzigsohn and 1826 Miller are presented together with standard spectra corresponding to the three best matches given by the public software tool M4AST (Popescu M. et al. (2012)). Our aim is to participate in the coordinated program of asteroids spectroscopy complementary to the observations of Gaia.
