Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author presents – in chronological order – the initiatives undertaken by Polish parliamentarians, the aim of which was the popularisation of the Sorbian issue among representatives of the executive authorities of Poland. At times, the goal of politicians was also to exert pressure on the Polish Foreign Ministry with aim of generating support for Sorbians, mainly within the framework of Polish-German relations. None of these attempts brought any discernible results. This was a result of the priority placed on good neighbourly relations between Poland and Germany.
