Summary/Abstract: In the article, the multi-faceted cooperation between Poland and Bulgaria in the 1920s in the political, economic and cultural spheres is presented based on Polish archival materials. After the end of the First World War, Bulgarians wanted more equal relations with Poland, because they wanted Poland to be an advocate of Bulgaria. The motto of Polish Balkan policy was, above all, cooperation with Romania in the event of a war threat from Soviet Russia (later USSR). In this context, political relations with Bulgaria had to become less important, whereas economic cooperation was focused on mutually advantageous trade exchange. The author of the article emphasizes the fact that during the period discussed intensive relations developed between Polish and Bulgarian cultural activists, journalists, scientists as well as societies in both countries.
