On Tuesday we were observing the International day of people with disabilities. And even before that, last week Brussels was hosting a conference European day of Persons with disabilities. They put up a number of strategic goals, which need to be fulfilled till 2030 with the aim of improving the living standards of people with disabilities. They are gave awards to the best wheelchair accessible cities. For 2025 Access city awards are going to Vienna, Nurnberg and Caratega (as a reminder Ljubljana also won three Access City awards in the period of 2015-2022).
On International day of people with disabilities Slovene organization of disabled stated that more often than before people are taking parking places reserved for the disabled (fine is only 200 eur) and that not enough transport vehicles and public buildings are accessible for the disabled, all the factors which lower the level of inclusion of people with disabilities to the society.
