Summary/Abstract: The role of cities in international relations is systematically growing. Many con-temporary global initiatives in the field of environmental protection, combat-ing social inequalities or illegal immigration originate from the foreign activity of local governments. Cities seem to be more willing to build their international potential through so-called memory diplomacy. The past, or in fact a top-down form of its commemoration or forgetting, becomes one of the main categories of foreign policy. By using various tools of implementing memory policy, such as the construction of public space or supporting activities of memory institutions, local governments create the desired image in the international arena and, conse-quently, strengthen their own economic and political potential.
