Stosunki polsko-niemieckie i europejskie kryzysy
Polish-German relations and European crises

Summary/Abstract: Polish-German relations are an example of good collaboration. They also offer considerable potential for even closer cooperation. The crises in the euro zone brought Warsaw and Berlin closer to one another, especially during the Polish presidency of the EU. The present conflict with Russia, however, has resulted in complications. Ironically, it may contribute to Germany’s better understanding Polish expectations regarding security. From Poland’s point of view, the partnership with Germany is being significantly tested within the framework of the North Atlantic Alliance. Germany is trying to accommodate Polish postulates by becoming involved in NATO spearhead forces and facilitating closer military contacts. Polish-German relations will long continue to depend on the nature of German leadership and the role of Poland in the EU, which is not ultimately defined.
