Summary/Abstract: The article presents the issue of Poland’s integration with the European Union through the prism of the dichotomy encountered at the turn of 2015–2016. The first point it raises is Poland’s desire to join the Euro-Atlantic system after regaining its political sovereignty in 1989. It would seem that great success was achieved in this matter, which was to determine Poland’s foreign policy for the 21st century. Poland was accepted into NATO on March 12, 1999, and joined the European Union in 2004 after several years of effort and preparations. This attitude prevailed for 11 years until the PiS political party took power in the October 2015 elections.
