I had a look at your sample file, and I see that you are using the
"Windows-1250" character encoding. I am not familiar with it, so I chose
to use ISO-8859-2 (latin2) encoding. (I am using teTeX on UNIX systems.)
After doing that, I found that the ogonek was not supported with the
default LaTeX fonts. To solve this, I needed to use the 'ae' package
(for Computer Modern fonts) or specify T1 encoding with PostScript
fonts. The relevant lines for your customisation file are below:

Computer Modern fonts:
      <xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-2"/>
      <xsl:param name="latex.inputenc">latin2</xsl:param>
      <xsl:param name="latex.document.font">ae</xsl:param>

PostScript fonts (e.g. Bitstream Charter or Times):
      <xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-2"/>
      <xsl:param name="latex.inputenc">latin2</xsl:param>
      <xsl:param name="latex.fontenc">T1</xsl:param>
      <xsl:param name="latex.document.font">charter</xsl:param>
      <!--
      <xsl:param name="latex.document.font">times</xsl:param>
      -->
