Summary/Abstract: Contemporary Poland and Romania are closely connected countries, both being members in the EU and NATO and situated on the eastern flank of the Euro-Atlantic world. Most Romanians have a favorable vision of Poland and Polish people and there is a historic tradition of friendship and cooperation. The diplomatic bilateral relations were established in 1919, at the level of „legation” and later in 1938 at the level of Embassy. Now they are both EU and NATO states, situated on the eastern flank of these organizations. They are disturbed by Russia’s territorial revisionism and would like to see a coherent West protecting the Helsinki status quo. Romania and Poland want to develop the political, economic, security and cultural cooperation but they must overcome some bureaucratic, mentality and material obstacles.
