Summary/Abstract: When at the plenum of the CC of the Romanian Workers Party of March 5-8, 1963 they openly addressed the existence of disputes between the Romanian People’s Republic and the USSR, notably as far as COMECON was concerned, Moscow became restless. To prevent a possible new schism in the international communist movement, after the cases of Albania and China, in only two months, N.S. Khrushchev sent two delegations to Bucharest, at head with such front-ranking apparatchiks as A.I. Andropov and N.V. Podgonyi, to try and stop the deterioration of the Romanian-Soviet relations. The two delegations of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union insistently asked for a top-level meeting between Gheorghiu-Dej and N. S. Khrushchev. The RWP leadership only accepted it when it was sure the Kremlin was to make all the possible concessions.
