The website is partially compliant with the Act on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities. Our goal is to make all pages and content accessible; however, some elements may not yet fully meet the highest accessibility standards. This may result from difficulties in determining the most appropriate technological solutions.
We will periodically review this statement to reflect improvements or changes in our accessibility practices. We recognize the importance of accessibility for all users and thank you for your understanding.
The website allows full use of its functionality via keyboard, without the need to use a mouse.
The following key combinations are supported:
In the case of accordions, expanding and browsing content requires the use of ENTER or SPACE, followed by navigation using ARROW KEYS. Active sections and expandable elements include ARIA attributes to facilitate interpretation by screen readers.

You may also use this contact method to request access to inaccessible information or to file complaints regarding lack of accessibility.
Everyone has the right to request that a public entity ensure the digital accessibility of a specified website. It is also possible to request that information be provided via an alternative means of access, as referred to in Article 7 of the Act on digital accessibility.
The request should include:
Digital accessibility should be provided without undue delay, no later than 7 days from the date of the request.
If this deadline cannot be met, the public entity shall inform the requester of the reasons for the delay and provide a new deadline, not exceeding 2 months from the date of the request.
If it is not technically possible to ensure accessibility, the requester will be informed of the reasons and provided with an alternative method of access.
In the event of refusal to provide accessibility or an alternative method, a complaint may be submitted to the public entity responsible for the website. After exhausting appeal options, the complaint may be submitted to the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman).
