Summary/Abstract: The study presented discusses in detail the conspiratorial diplomatic relations between the representatives of Hungary and Poland in the neutral European countries during World War II. These contacts had two planes: the first primary plane, from the perspective of relevance and importance were the attempts by Hungarian diplomacy focused on the groups of Western Allies in the neutral countries to probe into their attitudes and the conditions for Hungary’s “jumping out” from the system of Nazi Germany’s allies. The second plane, which was organically linked to the first one, were the discussions about the future political order of Central and Eastern Europe and as a part of these, also the realisation of ideas about the future status of Slovakia.
