Summary/Abstract: The study examines the activity of Polish diplomacy towards Bulgaria during the crucial period after WW I and the emergence of a new arrangement of international forces after the end of the armed conflict. The developments analyzed are presented against the broad background of the conditions under which both states, dependent on the decisions and activities of Great Powers, carried out their policy. National security considerations, including the great importance of transit routes from Southern Europe to Poland, but also historical ties and interest in the cultural heritage of partners as well as establishing and developing economic relations influenced the nature and scope of the actions undertaken, often carried out with participation of leading politicians of both countries. A significant role in this process was played by Tadeusz Grabowski, an expert in the history and culture of Bulgaria. He was the first Polish diplomat in Bulgaria after Poland regained its independence and fulfilled his mission with great commitment. The joint efforts of both countries during this period created a lasting basis for mutual relations.
