"We are planning to draft a special Government programme, Accessible Environment for Disabled People in 2010, to be initiated in 2011. Allow me to emphasize that providing an accessible environment is more than building access ramps, special lifts, adapted roads and municipal transport, which are important tasks. It is no less important to adjust the rules governing the operation of our social, information and other services to the needs of physically challenged people. It is necessary to create additional opportunities for providing jobs to those who are able and willing to work."
