What is left
Graf č. 1 (PDF p. 13): two small slices are not extracted: 2022 '2' and 2023 '8' and '2'. Their colours could not be matched to the legend (court proceedings, and an unlisted category, probably inspections); a visual check is needed. 2021 segments in the same chart (28+7+4=39) do not add to the printed 38.
