It carries out no business activity as its principal purpose, distributes no profit or assets to its members, officers or founders, and is independent of any political party, commercial enterprise or religious institution.
Governing bodies
The General Assembly of members is the highest body of the association.

Accounting is maintained in accordance with Czech accounting legislation for non-profit entities.
Public accountability
