Legal compliance status

The website partially complies with the Act of 4 April 2019 on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities due to non-compliance or exclusions listed below:

• no published and digitally available map of the website,
• no proper header structure of articles in some areas of the website,
• difficulty in operating the key functions of the website using the keyboard, including some menu areas and the website search engine,
• contact form fields do not have signs and labels,
• no defined "focus" attributes for interactive elements; the lack of skipping content makes it difficult to serve blind and visually impaired people.
• The website contains PDF documents that can make it difficult to read using screen readers. We aim to minimize the use of such files. With the development of the site, we are posting more and more of their content directly on our website.
