The Selected Polish-Yugoslav Organisations in the Interwar Period

Summary/Abstract: After the First World War in Poland and Yugoslavia, organisations were established to foster relations between the two countries on various levels, from culture to science and tourism. In the Second Polish Republic, the largest organisations of such type were the Polish-Yugoslav Society in Poznań and the Polish-Yugoslav League in Lviv. Both of them operated within the national League of Polish-Yugoslav Societies, established in 1930 in Warsaw. Its chairman was Rev. Wacław Kneblewski. In Poznań, after Henryk Ułaszyn, a professor of Slavonic studies at Poznań University, ceased to be president of the Society, the leadership of the association was taken over by young supporters of national democracy. Some of them had been born in Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the other hand, Lviv had a scientific background and university traditions that influenced the intellectual character of the Polish-Yugoslav League founded there. This institution had been defending itself for several years against entering the structures of the League of Societies established in Warsaw. Still, in the end, fearing isolation, it had to join it.
